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.
Ertugliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal glucose reabsorption and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, increasing urinary glucose excretion; metformin HCl is a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity.
