Pharmacology
SOLIQUA 100/33 combines insulin glargine, a basal insulin analog that lowers blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake and inhibiting hepatic glucose production, with lixisenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin release, decreases glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying.
SGLT2 inhibitor; ertugliflozin inhibits SGLT2, the predominant transporter responsible for renal reabsorption of filtered glucose, thereby lowering the renal threshold for glucose and increasing urinary glucose excretion.
