[1] [2] It is used together with a diabetic diet and exercise. [1] [2] It is not indicated for use by itself in type 1 diabetes. [1] [2] It is taken by mouth.
t max: Time to achieve maximum plasma concentration t 1/2 : Biological half-life In studies that were made on healthy people and people with type 2 diabetes, who were given dapagliflozin in either single ascending dose (SAD) or multiple ascending dose (MAD) showed results that confirmed a pharmacokinetic profile of the medication.
As an example we can take the change of o-glycosides to c-glycosides by creating a carbon–carbon bond between the glucose and the aglycone moiety. C-glucosides are more stable than o-glucosides which leads to modified half-life and duration of action. These modifications have also led to more specificity to SGLT-2. [9]

[102] Some compounded versions have been found to contain salts of semaglutide including the sodium and the acetate in an attempt to avoid the patent of ...
Native GLP-1 is a peptide hormone with a half-life of two minutes because it is rapidly cleared by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4. [29] As a result, different GLP-1 agonist drugs are modified in various ways to extend the half-life, resulting in drugs that can be dosed multiple times per day, daily, weekly, or less often. [ 29 ]
Sitagliptin, sold under the brand name Januvia among others, is an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. [8] In the United Kingdom it is listed as less preferred than metformin or a sulfonylurea. [9]
