Product Intro

Dapagliflozin (ForxigaTM) is a new antidiabetic drug jointly developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca, being approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on November 12, 2012. It is also the first approved SGLT2 inhibitor for the treatment of type II diabetes, being an important option in the treatment of diabetes, and is used to improve glycemic control as an adjunct to dietary and exercise for adults with type II diabetes.
Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor. On January 8, 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved it for being used in the treatment of type II diabetes. Meanwhile, FDA requires the producers to conduct post-marketing research on drug-related risks.
The post-marketing trial requested by the FDA includes a cardiovascular outcome trial for assessing the cardiovascular risk for high-risk patients after treatment with dapagliflozin at baseline and a study to assess the risk of bladder cancer in recruited patients. Another study will assess the bladder tumor-promoting effect of this drug on rodent animals. Two studies will assess the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in pediatric patients; a set of strengthened pharmacovigilance program will monitor liver abnormalities and pregnancy outcome reports in patients receiving daglitazone. 

Function

Dapagliflozin works through inhibiting sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2), a protein in the kidney that reabsorbs glucose into the bloodstream. This allows extra glucose to be excreted through the urine, improving glycemic control without increasing insulin secretion. The use of this drug requires patients with normal renal function while patients of moderate to severe renal insufficiency should be disabled to use this drug. Single application of this product or combination with metformin, pioglitazone, glimepiride, insulin and other drugs can significantly reduce the HbA1c and fasting blood glucose of patients suffering type II diabetes. The frequency of the adverse reaction was similar to placebo with low risk of hypoglycemia, being able to reduce body weight.
