Used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes as a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine. This compound improves glycemic control without increasing insulin secretion, making it beneficial for patients with insulin resistance. It is also associated with weight loss and blood pressure reduction due to its diuretic and caloric loss effects. Commonly formulated in oral dosage forms for once-daily administration.
