Luseogliflozin

Luseogliflozin (pronounced loo-see-oh-gli-floh-zin) is a type of antidiabetic drug specifically classified as a Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It is used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Etymology

The name "Luseogliflozin" is derived from the class of drugs it belongs to, the SGLT2 inhibitors. The "-gliflozin" suffix is common to all drugs in this class.

Pharmacology

Luseogliflozin works by inhibiting the SGLT2 protein, which is responsible for reabsorbing glucose in the kidneys. By inhibiting this protein, Luseogliflozin causes excess glucose to be excreted in the urine, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
