sitagliptin

Steglujan is a medication that combines ertugliflozin and sitagliptin. These two components work together to manage blood sugar levels. Ertugliflozin helps the kidneys remove glucose from the bloodstream, while sitagliptin regulates insulin production in response to meals.

Steglujan is prescribed alongside diet and exercise to enhance blood sugar control in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is important to note that Steglujan is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
