SGLT2 Inhibitor / Gliptin / Biguanide Combinations

SGLT2 Inhibitor / Gliptin / Biguanide Combinations are used to treat type 2 diabetes. The SGLT2 inhibitor removes excess glucose by blocking reabsorption through the kidneys. The biguanide decreases the amount of glucose that is absorbed and made by the body, and makes the body more sensitive to insulin. Gliptin works by increasing insulin and suppressing glucagon.

Key takeaways

SGLT2 inhibitor / gliptin / biguanide combinations are used to treat Type 2 diabetes. They work by combining three different types of medications: an SGLT2 inhibitor, a gliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor), and a biguanide. SGLT2 inhibitors help your kidneys remove excess glucose (sugar) through your urine. Gliptins increase natural insulin release and decrease the amount of glucose produced in the liver. Biguanides reduce glucose production in the liver and improve insulin sensitivity. These combinations are available as oral tablets. An example of this combination is empagliflozin / linagliptin / metformin (Trijardy XR).
