Dapagliflozin

Dapagliflozin is a prescription medicine used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class called SGLT2 inhibitors and works by helping the kidneys remove extra glucose through the urine.

It may also be used in some patients with heart failure or chronic kidney disease, depending on the product and prescriber guidance. Dapagliflozin can increase urination and may cause dehydration, genital infections, or low blood sugar when used with other diabetes medicines. Follow your prescriber's instructions and seek medical advice if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis, severe weakness, or signs of infection.
