Mechanism of action

Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that promotes urinary glucose excretion independent of insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. The ACE inhibitor component blocks the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, reducing blood pressure and providing renal protection. This combination targets both glycemic control and cardiovascular/renal outcomes in diabetes management.
