Pharmacology
Atorvastatin is a selective, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a cholesterol precursor; it lowers plasma cholesterol and LDL levels by inhibiting hepatic cholesterol synthesis and increasing hepatic LDL receptor expression.
STEGLUJAN combines ertugliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and increases urinary glucose excretion, and sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that slows inactivation of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), thereby increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.
