About This Medication

# Pfizer Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Steglatro at Low or No Cost ## About Steglatro Steglatro (ertugliflozin) is a prescription medication used to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood glucose levels alongside diet and exercise[1]. It works by interrupting the kidney's natural process of reabsorbing sugar, allowing more glucose to be eliminated through urine[1]. Steglatro is taken as a tablet once daily, with or without food[1]. Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious complications including vision loss, kidney damage, nerve damage, cardiovascular disease, and other health issues[1]. Consistent access to medications like Steglatro is essential for preventing these complications and maintaining good health. ## Who Qualifies for Assistance The **Pfizer Patient Assistance Program** provides free or reduced-cost Steglatro to eligible patients who cannot afford their medications[2].
