Dapagliflozin

Dapagliflozin is a medication used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by helping the kidneys remove excess sugar from the bloodstream through urine. This not only lowers blood sugar but can also help reduce weight and blood pressure. Dapagliflozin is often prescribed alongside other diabetes treatments and requires regular medical supervision. It can increase the risk of certain infections, such as urinary tract infections, because of increased sugar in the urine. Overall, it is an effective option for managing blood sugar when used appropriately.
