Mechanism of action

Dapagliflozin blocks SGLT2, a transporter protein in the proximal tubule of the kidney that normally reabsorbs filtered glucose back into the bloodstream. By inhibiting this transporter, the drug allows excess glucose to be excreted in the urine, thereby reducing blood glucose concentrations. This mechanism is independent of insulin secretion or action, making it effective across different diabetes phenotypes.
