Ertugliflozin is a type 2 sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitor. It has similar actions to dapagliflozin and is used as monotherapy or with other antidiabetic therapy, including insulin, in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Oral administration as a once-daily dosage or twice-daily dosage if combined with metformin.
At the time of the last update, we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its pharmacokinetic data (large volume of distribution, moderately high molecular weight and very high percentage of binding to plasma proteins) make passage into breast milk in clinically significant quantities very unlikely.
Pending further published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding, safer known alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.
