Description
Indication & Scope
Jardiance®/KeTangEn® is a prescription sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor indicated, as an adjunct to diet and exercise, to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in adults with heart failure, and to reduce the risk of kidney disease progression, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization in adults with chronic kidney disease. Its glucose-lowering effect is independent of insulin secretion and is associated with a low risk of hypoglycemia when used alone.
- Mechanism: Empagliflozin selectively inhibits SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubules, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion. This lowers blood glucose while providing additional cardiovascular and renal protective effects.
- Drug class: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
- Clinical use: Treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, symptomatic chronic heart failure, and chronic kidney disease.
