Pharmacology
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.
Xultophy 100/3.6 combines insulin degludec, a long-acting basal insulin analog that lowers blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake and inhibiting hepatic glucose production, with liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin release, decreases glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying.
