What does it do?

Dapagliflozin is a diabetes treatment component belonging to the SGLT2 inhibitor class. It is used for the purpose of lowering blood sugar levels by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys.

Dapagliflozin inhibits proteins that reabsorb glucose in the renal tubules. As a result, glucose is excreted in the urine, leading to reduced blood sugar levels.
