Mechanism of action
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is an orally active, highly selective SGLT2 inhibitor that enhances glycemic control by lowering renal glucose reabsorption, which results in urine glucose excretion (glucuresis). Dapagliflozin, when taken orally, is quickly absorbed and often reaches its peak plasma concentrations within two hours.
