Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Selective inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal renal tubule, reducing renal glucose reabsorption and lowering blood glucose.
Steglatro (ertugliflozin) is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It inhibits SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubule, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion, thereby lowering blood glucose.
10 mg orally once daily.
0.5 mg orally once daily for patients with type 2 diabetes; no dose adjustment for age, gender, or race.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12.9 hours (range 10-16 hours) for dapagliflozin, supporting once-daily dosing. At steady state, effective half-life is ~23 hours due to metabolite.
Clinical Note
moderateDapagliflozin + Gatifloxacin
"Dapagliflozin may increase the hypoglycemic activities of Gatifloxacin."
Clinical Note
moderateDapagliflozin + Rosoxacin
"Dapagliflozin may increase the hypoglycemic activities of Rosoxacin."
Clinical Note
moderateDapagliflozin + Levofloxacin
"Dapagliflozin may increase the hypoglycemic activities of Levofloxacin."
Clinical Note
moderateDapagliflozin + Trovafloxacin
"Dapagliflozin may increase the hypoglycemic activities of Trovafloxacin."
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12.4 hours in patients with type 2 diabetes, supporting once-daily dosing. No accumulation occurs at steady state.
Primarily renal and fecal: ~75% of dose excreted in urine (as unchanged dapagliflozin and glucuronide conjugates), ~21% in feces. Biliary elimination is negligible.
Approximately 65% of the dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug via active tubular secretion, and 35% is excreted in the feces as unchanged drug, indicating minimal metabolism.
