Effective Glucose Control with Weight & BP Benefit
Ertugliflozin blocks the kidney’s SGLT‑2 enzyme, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion. Many patients see reductions in HbA1c (~0.6–1.0%), some weight loss, and slightly lower systolic blood pressure. Once-Daily Morning Dosing—With or Without Food Take one tablet (5 mg) each morning. If glycemic targets aren’t met and 5 mg is tolerated well, dose may be increased to 15 mg once daily.
-
Low Risk of Hypoglycemia
Works independently of insulin pathways. However, if used with sulfonylureas or insulin, monitoring and dose adjustments may be needed. -
Convenient for Renal & Hepatic Impairment
No dose adjustments required for mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Avoid use if eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or in patients on dialysis. Initiation is typically discouraged when eGFR is 30–60 mL/min. -
Favorable Tolerability Profile
Common side effects include genital fungal infections, urinary tract infections, slight dehydration or volume depletion, headache, increased urination, constipation, nausea, or muscle/back pain—generally mild to moderate.

ℹ️ Additional Notes
-
Monitor Volume Status: Patients on diuretics, elderly, or with low BP should watch for signs of dehydration or hypotension.
-
Infection Monitoring: Genital or urinary tract infections may occur; promptly treat recurrent cases.
-
Avoid During Acute Illness or Fasting: SGLT-2 inhibitors increase ketoacidosis risk in these settings—temporary discontinuation may be necessary.
-
Weight & Blood Pressure Benefit: Some patients experience modest weight loss and BP reduction. These effects may benefit overweight or hypertensive individuals.
