Pharmacology
SGLT2 inhibitor; dapagliflozin inhibits sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 in the proximal renal tubules, reducing glucose reabsorption and promoting urinary glucose excretion, while also reducing sodium reabsorption to lower cardiac pre- and afterload, suppress sympathetic activity, and decrease intraglomerular pressure via tubuloglomerular feedback.
Insulin analog; regulates glucose metabolism by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and fat and inhibiting hepatic glucose production, while also inhibiting lipolysis and proteolysis and enhancing protein synthesis.
