Active ingredients

The drug VOKANAMET contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1 Canagliflozin UNII 0SAC974Z85 - CANAGLIFLOZIN

Canagliflozin is an orally-active inhibitor of SGLT2. The SGLT2 transporter, expressed in the proximal renal tubules, is responsible for the majority of the reabsorption of filtered glucose from the tubular lumen. By inhibiting SGLT2, canagliflozin reduces reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose (RTG). Read about Canagliflozin

2 Metformin UNII 786Z46389E - METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE

Metformin is a biguanide with antihyperglycaemic effects, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. It does not stimulate insulin secretion and therefore does not produce hypoglycaemia. Read about Metformin
