Luseogliflozin
Luseogliflozin is a SGLT2 inhibitor used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. It is marketed in Japan by Taisho Pharmaceutical.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Luseogliflozin works by inhibiting SGLT2, a protein in the kidneys that reabsorbs glucose into the bloodstream. By blocking this protein, luseogliflozin causes excess glucose to be eliminated in the urine, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
Indications[edit | edit source]
Luseogliflozin is indicated for the treatment of adults with Type 2 diabetes who are not adequately controlled on diet and exercise alone. It may be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Common side effects of luseogliflozin include urinary tract infections, increased urination, and genital fungal infections. Rare but serious side effects include ketoacidosis, kidney injury, and severe allergic reactions.
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Luseogliflozin is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment, end-stage renal disease, or dialysis. It is also contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to luseogliflozin or any of its components.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
Luseogliflozin may interact with other medications, including diuretics, insulin, and other antidiabetic drugs. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking.
