Used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus as a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine. This compound improves glycemic control and is often used as an adjunct to diet and exercise. It may also contribute to modest reductions in body weight and blood pressure due to its mechanism of action. Typically formulated in fixed-dose combinations with other antidiabetic agents like metformin for enhanced therapeutic effect.
