Used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, this compound helps lower blood glucose levels by inhibiting SGLT2 in the kidneys, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion. It contributes to improved glycemic control without directly stimulating insulin secretion. Additionally, it may support modest weight reduction and blood pressure lowering due to its mechanism of action. It is typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise in adult patients with type 2 diabetes.
