Segluromet is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is typically used when treatment with either component alone does not provide sufficient blood sugar control.
Segluromet combines two complementary mechanisms: one active ingredient helps the kidneys remove glucose from the body through urine by blocking glucose reabsorption, while the other reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. Together, they help lower blood sugar levels more effectively than either agent alone.
This medication is not for use in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It may cause side effects including urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and dehydration. Patients should have kidney function tested before starting and periodically during treatment. As with all diabetes medications, blood sugar should be monitored regularly. This is a brand-name medication and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
