Pharmacology
Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose, lowers the renal threshold for glucose, and increases urinary glucose excretion; it also reduces sodium reabsorption, which may increase tubuloglomerular feedback, reduce intraglomerular pressure, and lower cardiac pre- and afterload.
Sotagliflozin is a dual inhibitor of SGLT2 and SGLT1; SGLT2 inhibition reduces renal reabsorption of glucose and sodium (lowering cardiac pre- and afterload and downregulating sympathetic activity), while SGLT1 inhibition reduces intestinal absorption of glucose and sodium.
