Although these two drugs belong to the same class, they have slight differences in their mechanisms of action. Dapagliflozin mainly acts on SGLT2, while Canagliflozin also acts on another transporter protein called SGLT1. While 90% of glucose transport in the kidneys is mediated by SGLT2, the ...

In people with T2D and established cardiovascular disease, the international guidelines for T2D recommend the use of GLP-1 RA or sodium glucose co-transporters 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) as first-line treatment (independent of HbA1c), based on multiple trials demonstrating their cardio-renal benefits ...
GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2is were found to exert striking benefits on the heart, liver, kidney, and even the brain [34,35,36,37,38,39,40]. Emerging research indicates that these benefits are conferred by pleiotropic mechanisms, that is, pathways distinct from those involved in gluc...
"It's really important to know if these medications are comparable to each other, or if one should be preferred over the other for a particular benefit, in our patients depending on what they're at highest risk for. So, I think this fills an important knowledge gap."...
Other people who can potentially go into ketoacidosis are those with type 2 diabetes who take medications known as SGLT-2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin. Also, in rare cases, women who don’t have diabetes can develop ketoacidosis while breastfeedin...

Medications targeting neurohormonal activation are the cornerstone of treatment, and they are complemented by device therapy and heart rate reduction, among other measures, in selected patients.1, 2, 3, 4 The net effect has been an effective doubling of life expectancy, with significant improvements...
We had also insufficient numbers of people treated with some important classes of medication to examine the impact of continuing, switching, or adding at a class level, e.g., sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) analogues. This was predominate...
