Blood Glucose Lowering Drugs, Excluding InsulinIndication Dosage
Ertugliflozin and Metformin is a combination medication designed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ertugliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that works by promoting the excretion of glucose in the urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Metformin, on the other hand, is a biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver. This combination offers a dual mechanism of action to help control hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Ertugliflozin and Metformin are typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise when monotherapy with metformin or ertugliflozin alone is insufficient.
Dosage:
2.5mg Ertugliflozin/ 500mg Metformin twice daily; increase the dose as required. Max: 7.5, 5mg Ertugliflozin/ 1000mg Metformin.
