Brenzavvy is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, typically as part of a comprehensive management plan that includes diet and exercise.
As an SGLT2 inhibitor, Brenzavvy blocks the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 protein in the kidneys, preventing reabsorption of glucose back into the bloodstream and allowing excess glucose to be excreted in urine.
Common side effects may include urinary tract infections and increased urination. Patients should stay hydrated and monitor for signs of ketoacidosis. Not recommended for use in type 1 diabetes or for patients with severe kidney impairment.
