Eglaro-S 5/100mg Tablet contains Ertugliflozin 5mg and Sitagliptin 100mg, a combination of two oral antidiabetic medicines used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is manufactured by PharmEvo and works through two different mechanisms to help control blood glucose levels.

Ertugliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and helps lower blood sugar by increasing the removal of excess glucose through urine. Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that improves insulin release after meals and helps reduce glucose production in the liver. Together, they provide dual-action support for better glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are not enough.

Uses

How It Works

Ertugliflozin blocks the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, reducing glucose reabsorption and allowing excess sugar to leave the body through urine. Sitagliptin increases incretin hormone activity, which helps the pancreas release more insulin when blood glucose levels are high and reduces glucose production by the liver.

Common Side Effects

• Increased urination
• Urinary tract infections
• Genital fungal infections
• Nausea
• Headache

• Low blood sugar (especially when combined with other diabetes medicines)

Contact your doctor if you experience severe symptoms, unusual weakness, dehydration, or persistent abdominal pain.
