Pharmacology
Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose, lowers the renal threshold for glucose, and increases urinary glucose excretion; it also reduces sodium reabsorption, which may increase tubuloglomerular feedback, reduce intraglomerular pressure, and lower cardiac pre- and afterload.
Ertugliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal glucose reabsorption and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, increasing urinary glucose excretion; metformin HCl is a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity.
