What is canagliflozin 100 mg?

GLICANA FLOZIN 100 is an oral antidiabetic medicine containing 100 mg of canagliflozin, which is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower blood glucose levels by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream. Instead, excess sugar is removed naturally through urine.

In addition to improving blood sugar control, Canagliflozin may also help support weight management and contribute to blood pressure reduction in some patients. However, treatment goals and outcomes vary depending on individual health conditions, and the medicine should always be taken exactly as directed by your doctor.

Uses of Canagliflozin 100 mg Tablet

GLICANA FLOZIN 100 may be prescribed for:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Improving blood glucose control along with diet and exercise
• Use alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines
• Helping reduce HbA1c levels
• Supporting overall diabetes management under medical supervision

Note: This medicine is not indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How Does Canagliflozin 100 mg Work?

Canagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class of medicines. Normally, the kidneys filter glucose from the blood and then reabsorb most of it back into the body. Canagliflozin blocks the SGLT2 protein responsible for this reabsorption.

As a result:

• More glucose is eliminated through urine.
• Blood sugar levels decrease.
• The body loses excess glucose that would otherwise remain in the bloodstream.
• Some patients may experience modest weight loss and lower blood pressure as an additional effect of increased glucose and fluid excretion.

When combined with healthy eating habits, physical activity, and regular blood sugar monitoring, Canagliflozin can play an important role in long-term diabetes management.
