EGLARO 15MG TAB (14s)

EGLARO 15mg Tablet contains Ertugliflozin 15mg, an oral antidiabetic medicine belonging to the SGLT2 inhibitor class. It is prescribed to help improve blood glucose control in adults with Type 2 diabetes, together with an appropriate diet and physical activity.

Ertugliflozin works mainly through the kidneys by reducing the reabsorption of glucose, allowing excess glucose to be eliminated through urine.

• Helps improve blood glucose control in Type 2 diabetes
• Used alongside diet and exercise
• May be prescribed when additional glucose control is required
• Can be used as part of an individualized diabetes treatment plan

• Helps lower elevated blood glucose

Possible Side Effects

Some patients may experience:

• Increased urination
• Increased thirst
• Urinary tract infections
• Genital fungal infections
• Dizziness or dehydration
• Low blood pressure

Low blood sugar is more likely when Ertugliflozin is used with insulin or a sulfonylurea.

Rare but serious complications can occur, including diabetic ketoacidosis and serious genital or urinary infections. Seek urgent medical attention for severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, difficulty breathing, unusual weakness, confusion, or severe genital pain/swelling.

Pharmacist Advice

Take EGLARO exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is generally taken once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water.

Maintain adequate fluid intake because Ertugliflozin increases glucose and fluid loss through urine.

Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, low blood pressure, recurrent urinary or genital infections, or are taking diuretics or other diabetes medicines.

Monitor blood glucose according to your healthcare professional's instructions. Do not stop or change your diabetes treatment without medical advice.

EGLARO is not intended to treat Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Discuss its use with your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
