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.
ACE inhibitor; enalapril is hydrolyzed to enalaprilat, which inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme, suppressing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and thereby reducing plasma angiotensin II, vasopressor activity, and aldosterone secretion.
