Enavogliflozin is a medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as SGLT2 inhibitors, which work by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into the blood, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Enavogliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubules of the kidney. This inhibition reduces the reabsorption of glucose from the renal filtrate, leading to increased glucose excretion in the urine and a reduction in blood glucose levels.

Indications[edit | edit source]

Enavogliflozin is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. It is often prescribed when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. It may be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin.
