What does it do?

Dapagliflozin citrate is a diabetes treatment component that belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class. This ingredient is used to inhibit glucose reabsorption in the kidneys to assist in blood sugar control. It is primarily used for lowering blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Dapagliflozin citrate works by blocking the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, thereby increasing the excretion of glucose in the urine. This results in a reduction in blood glucose levels, allowing for better blood sugar control. It has the characteristic of working independently of insulin secretion in the body.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Dapagliflozin citrate is similar to other SGLT2 inhibitors, but there may be differences in pharmacokinetic properties and tolerability. Additionally, its citrate form enhances stability, which is advantageous for formulation development. This ingredient is distinguished from other blood sugar-lowering agents by not directly stimulating insulin secretion.
