Remogliflozin Etabonate

Remogliflozin Etabonate is an anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class, which helps lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose excretion through urine. This medication is often prescribed when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate blood sugar control. It helps improve glycemic control and may also contribute to weight loss in diabetic patients. Remogliflozin Etabonate is generally well-tolerated but should be taken under a doctor's supervision.
