What is dapagliflozin (generic Forxiga)?

One month's supply / 30 tablets
1. What is an SGLT2 inhibitor? A new idea: protecting by letting sugar out
Conventional diabetes medicines mainly either released insulin or suppressed sugar absorption. SGLT2 inhibitors work quite differently.
How it works
It blocks SGLT2, the protein that reabsorbs sugar in the kidneys. Excess sugar is passed out of the body with the urine, which lowers blood sugar naturally.
Three benefits common to SGLT2 inhibitors
- Better blood sugar: It passes sugar out directly, without relying on insulin.
- Weight loss: It passes out roughly 200 to 400 kcal of sugar a day - one to one and a half bowls of rice - so weight loss can be expected.
- Lower blood pressure: Water is passed out along with the sugar, so swelling eases and blood pressure tends to fall.
2. Why dapagliflozin? Three major features
There are several SGLT2 inhibitors, including empagliflozin and canagliflozin, but dapagliflozin is chosen for **how broadly it is indicated and its track record**.
1. It can be used for heart failure and kidney disease even without diabetes
This is its greatest feature. Whether or not you have diabetes, dapagliflozin is approved as a treatment forchronic heart failure and **chronic kidney disease (CKD)**.
It is regarded as doing far more than lowering blood sugar: it has a strong capacity to protect your organs in the future.
2. It covers type 1 diabetes as well
Most SGLT2 inhibitors cover type 2 diabetes only, but dapagliflozin is permitted for patients withtype 1 diabetes too, on condition that it is used alongside insulin injections (* with some restrictions).
3. Extensive medical evidence
Large-scale international clinical trials have demonstrated that it reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and slows the decline of kidney function.
How to take it
Take one tablet by mouth once a day.
- As for when to take it,any time is generally fine (the same time each day is often recommended)
- Food has little effect, so it can be taken before or after a meal
- While taking it, make sure you drink enough fluids
Side effects
Frequent urination and increased urine volume, thirst, a tendency to dehydration, infections of the genital area and urinary tract (itching, discomfort, pain when passing urine and similar),low blood sugar (for example when used alongside other diabetes medicines)
* Because it passes sugar out in the urine, take care not to become short of fluids.
If something feels wrong, consult a doctor promptly.
* Depending on supply, the manufacturer we send may vary.
All are generics of Forxiga (dapagliflozin), with the same active ingredient and strength.
