What does it do?

Dapagliflozin citrate belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class of diabetes medications. This ingredient is primarily used for blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. It works by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Dapagliflozin citrate inhibits the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, increasing the amount of glucose excreted in urine. As a result, the concentration of glucose in the blood decreases, and blood sugar is controlled. It acts independently of insulin secretion in the body.
