Mechanism of action

As a placebo control, this formulation contains no active pharmaceutical ingredient but is manufactured to match the appearance, taste, and physical properties of dapagliflozin tablets to maintain blinding in clinical trials. Dapagliflozin itself works by inhibiting sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubule of the kidney, allowing filtered glucose to be excreted in urine rather than reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
