The dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor sotagliflozin (Inpefa) reduced the risk for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and ...
The dual sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 and 2 (SGLT1/2) inhibitor sotagliflozin reduced major adverse cardiovascular events, with significant reductions in the individual outcomes of myocardial ...
In a trial, sotagliflozin use in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) was associated with lower risk of ischemic cardiovascular outcomes.
Sotagliflozin, however, inhibits SGLT2 as well as gastrointestinal SGLT1; the latter effect, the study authors note, reduced carbohydrate absorption and blunts postprandial hyperglycemia, both of ...
The drug blocks the functions of two proteins — SGLT1 and SGLT2 — that transport glucose and sodium across cell membranes and control blood sugar. Other gliflozins do not effectively block SGLT2. “Our ...
