Abstract
Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor that lowers the renal threshold for glucose, resulting in a greatly increased urinary glucose excretion and reduced blood glucose concentrations in patients with hyperglycaemia. This group of drugs has been used as monotherapy and as an adjunct therapy to all antidiabetic drugs. The present review evaluates the concept, therapeutic potential and limitations of canagliflozin as potential antidiabetic agent.
