Steglatro

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) can cause fluid loss, which might lead to low blood pressure. Let your provider know if you have symptoms of low blood pressure, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, tiredness, or blurred vision.

Rarely, Steglatro (ertugliflozin) can cause a serious condition called ketoacidosis, which is when your body produces high levels of ketones. Stop taking this medication and seek medical help right away if you start experiencing severe dehydration, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and shortness of breath.

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) can cause fluid loss, which might lead to kidney damage. This is more likely to happen if you already have low blood volume, long-term kidney problems, heart problems, or if you're taking certain medications like diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or NSAIDs. Let your provider know if your diet changes drastically, like fasting, or if you lose a lot of fluids, like during diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive sweating. Due to the risk of kidney problems, your provider might monitor your kidney function before starting Steglatro (ertugliflozin) and periodically throughout your treatment. Let your provider know right away if experience symptoms of low urine production, swelling in the legs, nausea, tiredness, or shortness of breath.

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) can raise the risk of urinary tract infections, genital yeast infections, and flesh-eating bacterial genital infections (called Fournier's gangrene). Fournier's gangrene is a serious, life-threatening infection that can require hospitalization, surgery, and can lead to death. Let your provider know right away if you experience symptoms of a urinary tract infection (e.g., pain or burning while urinating, urinating often, blood in your urine, or itching), or genital infections (e.g., fever or itching, pain, tenderness, redness, or swelling in the genital area). Get emergency medical help right away if you develop pain, tenderness, swelling, or redness around your anus or genitals, as well as a fever above 100.4ºF or if you feel very weak, tired, or uncomfortable.

Although rare, Steglatro (ertugliflozin) can raise your risk of amputations in the lower legs, especially the toes or feet. Pay extra attention to your legs and feet while taking Steglatro (ertugliflozin), and let your provider know if you have any signs and symptoms of infections, such as new pain, tenderness, sores, or ulcers in your legs or feet.
