Ertuglif Tablet 15 mg contains Ertugliflozin, an oral antidiabetic medicine used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing the removal of glucose through urine.

Ertugliflozin belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class. It is used along with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control and may also help reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications when used appropriately under medical supervision.
