Ertugliflozin – SGLT2 inhibitor

MUDr. Eva Račická

Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are the most recent therapeutic strategy in the treatment of type2 diabetes mellitus. Ertugliflozin is the new highly selective and reversible SGLT2inhibitor. This cotransporter is responsible for renal reabsorpction of glucose. Due to this mechanism ertugliflozin increases glucose excretion by the kidney, resulting in reduced glycaemia and improved diabetes control with very low risk of hypoglycaemia. This mechanis of action is completely independent of the action of insulin. Ertugliflozin has been aproved by EMA for treatment od diabetes mellitus type 2 in March 2018. Ertugliflozin is aproved for monotherapy and as add-on therapy to oral antidiabetic agents. In this article there is a summary of knowledge about mechanism of action, efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin.

Keywords: SGLT2 inhibition, diabetes mellitus typ 2, ertugliflozin, glycemic control
