STEGLATRO may cause serious side effects including:

Ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine) has happened in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes during treatment and also in people with diabetes who were sick or who had surgery during treatment with STEGLATRO. Ketoacidosis is a serious condition, which may need to be treated in a hospital and may lead to death. Ketoacidosis can happen even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach-area (abdominal) pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. If you get any of these symptoms, stop taking STEGLATRO and call your doctor right away. If possible, check for ketones in your urine, even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL.

Amputations. STEGLATRO may increase your risk of lower limb amputations. You may be at a higher risk of lower limb amputation if you: have a history of amputation; have had blocked or narrowed blood vessels, usually in your leg; have damage to the nerves (neuropathy) in your leg; have had diabetic foot ulcers or sores. Call your doctor right away if you have new pain or tenderness, any sores, ulcers, or infections in your leg or foot. Your doctor may decide to stop your STEGLATRO for a while if you have any of these signs or symptoms. Talk to your doctor about proper foot care.
