Ertugliflozin + Metformin

Ertugliflozin + Metformin is a combination medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Ertugliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, while Metformin is a biguanide medication. This combination works by helping to lower blood sugar levels by increasing the amount of sugar excreted in the urine and decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It is typically prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved adequate blood sugar control with either medication alone.
