How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (dapagliflozin). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), expressed in the proximal renal tubules, is responsible for the majority of the reabsorption of filtered glucose from the tubular lumen.

Dapagliflozin is an inhibitor of SGLT2.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

The metabolism of dapagliflozin is primarily mediated by UGT1A9; CYP-mediated metabolism is a minor clearance pathway in humans.

How it leaves the body

Dapagliflozin and related metabolites are primarily eliminated via the renal pathway.

With food

Administration of dapagliflozin with a high-fat meal decreases its C max by up to 50% and prolongs T max by approximately 1 hour but does not alter AUC as compared with the fasted state.
