Mechanism of action

As an SGLT2 inhibitor, ipragliflozin blocks the SGLT2 transporter on the proximal tubule of the nephron, preventing the reabsorption of filtered glucose. This leads to increased urinary glucose excretion (glucosuria) and a reduction in blood glucose levels independent of insulin secretion. The mechanism also provides cardiovascular and renal protective benefits beyond glycemic control.
