SGLT2 INHIBITORS


There are three different tablets in this group.

SGLT2 Inhibitors work in the following ways:

  • Reducing the amount of glucose being absorbed in the kidneys so that it is passed out in the urine.
  • Reducing the amount of glucose in your blood.
Medications in the SGLT2 inhibitor family
Generic name Trade name
Dapagliflozin Forxiga
Canagliflozin Invokana
Empagliflozin Jardiance
All are taken once a day. Because of the way they work, your urine will test positive for glucose while you are on this medication. How effective it is depends on your kidney function. There is a risk of genital infections and urinary tract infections.

There is a section of the forum where these medications are discussed.
