Used primarily in the management of type 2 diabetes, it helps lower blood glucose levels by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased excretion of glucose through urine. This mechanism not only improves glycemic control but also contributes to weight loss and reduction in blood pressure. It has shown cardiovascular benefits, including reduced risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with established cardiovascular disease. Additionally, it is being studied for use in heart failure and chronic kidney disease due to its protective effects on heart and kidney function.
