What does it do?

Dapagliflozin propanediol hydrate belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class of diabetes medications. This component is primarily used for the control of blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. It reduces the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to lower blood glucose levels.

This component inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, increasing the amount of glucose excreted in the urine. As a result, the concentration of glucose in the blood decreases, helping to regulate blood sugar levels. This action lowers blood glucose by a pathway different from insulin.

Good to know

Dapagliflozin propanediol hydrate is similar to other SGLT2 inhibitors, but is characterized by enhanced stability in the form of propanediol hydrate. Additionally, it does not directly stimulate insulin secretion, resulting in a relatively lower risk of hypoglycemia.
