The video contains a simple and visual explanation of how ‎Canagliflozin ‎Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin, SGLT2 inhibitors, work to get the kidneys to excrete glucose into the urine. We cover some basics about how the nephron works and look in detail at the action of SGLT2 inhibitors on the sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubule. We also talk about the indications and adverse effects.
