Product Overview
About APO-CANAGLIFLOZIN
APO-CANAGLIFLOZIN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Reduces hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels
- Helps to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with established cardiovascular disease
Active Ingredient & Action
Canagliflozin works by inhibiting the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, which reabsorbs glucose from the urine back into the bloodstream. By blocking this protein, Canagliflozin increases the excretion of glucose in the urine, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
Important Notes
It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully. APO-CANAGLIFLOZIN may cause dehydration, especially in patients with a history of kidney disease or those taking diuretics. Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels is recommended.
