Mechanism of action

By inhibiting SGLT2, TAK-881 reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion in the urine and lowering blood glucose levels. This mechanism is particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes, as it helps to improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
