Ertugliflozin for type 2 diabetes
Overview
New Drug Evaluations are concise, structured reviews of new drugs recently launched within the NHS. These documents seek to provide a brief overview of the efficacy, safety and cost of new drugs.
Ertugliflozin is the fourth sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor to be licensed in the UK. It is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise control to improve glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
This review is older than 18 months; in view of the continued emergence of new evidence, readers are recommended to re-check the biomedical literature.
NICE has accredited the process used by the Regional Drug and Therapeutics Centre to produce New Drug Evaluations. Accreditation is valid until the 31st of December 2023.
