Canagliflozin

Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose linked-transport 2 (SGLT2) receptor inhibitor newly approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Under normal conditions, the SGLT2 receptor in the proximal tubule resorbs filtered glucose until its resorptive capacity is reached, which is a mechanism that accounts for more than 90% of renal glucose reabsorption [1]. Inhibitors of the SGLT2 receptor reduce glucose reabsorption and promote glycosuria and osmotic diuresis. As such, this agent promotes glycemic control and caloric loss with a mechanism independent of insulin. A novel medication introduced in 2013, canagliflozin is effective in improving haemoglobin A1c levels without the adverse effects associated with insulin and insulin-related agents. Given its unique mechanism of action and distinct side effect profile, it is important to consider the optimal clinical situations for its use.
