Metformin and ertugliflozin is a fixed-dose combination oral antidiabetic medication. Metformin is a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, widely used as first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ertugliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidney, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion. The combination is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control in adults.
