Abstract

Background and Aims: Dapagliflozin (DAPA) is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a monotherapy or combination therapy with other antidiabetic medicines. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved DAPA to minimize the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure in patients with T2DM because of its antihypertensive and antihyperglycemic activities. However, further study of DAPA is necessary to ensure the safety of patients.
