Prior to Initiation of STEGLUJAN

  • Assess renal function before initiating STEGLUJAN and as clinically indicated.
  • Assess volume status. In patients with volume depletion, correct this condition before initiating STEGLUJAN.

Recommended Dosage

  • The recommended starting dosage of STEGLUJAN is 5 mg ertugliflozin/100 mg sitagliptin orally once daily, taken in the morning, with or without food.
  • For patients treated with ertugliflozin who are being switched to STEGLUJAN, the dosage of ertugliflozin can be maintained.
  • For additional glycemic control, the dosage may be increased to 15 mg ertugliflozin/100 mg sitagliptin orally once daily in patients tolerating STEGLUJAN.
  • Use is not recommended in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2.
  • Use of STEGLUJAN is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or on dialysis.

2.3 Temporary Interruption for Surgery

Withhold STEGLUJAN for at least 4 days, if possible, prior to surgery or procedures associated with prolonged fasting. Resume STEGLUJAN when the patient is clinically stable and has resumed oral intake.
