Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Dapagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2(SGLT2) which is primarily located in the proximal tubule of the nephron. SGLT2 facilitates 90% of glucose reabsorption in the kidneys and so its inhibition allows for glucose to be excreted in the urine. This excretion allows for better glycemic control and potentially weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Dapagliflozin is indicated as an adjunct treatment to improve glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise.For patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, dapagliflozin in used to reduce the risk of sustained eGFR decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization for heart failure. Dapagliflozin is also indicated to either reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visit in adults with heart failure or reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and either established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Combination products with dapagliflozin also exist, either as a dapagliflozin-saxagliptin or dapagliflozin-metformin hydrochloride formulation. Both are used as an adjunct treatment to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
