Diabetes clinics in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi increasingly prescribe combination tablets like Trevia R2 for patients who need better sugar control. Pakistan has one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in the region, which makes effective combination therapy important.
Ertugliflozin works by blocking sugar reabsorption in the kidneys. Sitagliptin supports the pancreas to release insulin only when blood sugar rises after meals.
Trevia R2 is not suitable for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Your doctor checks kidney function before starting this medicine and during treatment.
