Product Overview
About GLN-DAPAGLIFLOZIN
GLN-DAPAGLIFLOZIN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Dapagliflozin, used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of medications known as sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which work by reducing the amount of glucose reabsorbed by the kidneys, thereby increasing the excretion of glucose in the urine.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Improves blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Helps to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke, or death, in patients with established cardiovascular disease.
- May also be used to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with established cardiovascular disease.
Active Ingredient & Action
Dapagliflozin works by inhibiting the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, which normally reabsorbs glucose back into the bloodstream. By blocking this protein, Dapagliflozin increases the excretion of glucose in the urine, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. This action also leads to a reduction in body weight and blood pressure, further contributing to the overall management of type 2 diabetes.
Important Notes
GLN-DAPAGLIFLOZIN should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is essential to inform your doctor about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before starting treatment. Common side effects of GLN-DAPAGLIFLOZIN include genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. It is crucial to follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
