    *For the reference

    of medical professionals only, don't be asked, outpatient clinics or wards often encounter patients straight to the point, "Doctor, can you prescribe me xx net no,


    there are people around to take this medicine The effect is very good"
    。 The hypoglycemic effect of "Lijing" drugs is remarkable, and it is widely used in clinical practice
    .

    It has been more than 5 years since China's first "Liejing" was listed, and we can see more and more "Liejing", "Dapagliflozin", "Enpagliflozin", "Casagliflozin", "Etogliflozin".
    .
    .
    How to choose?


    Mechanism of action


    The scientific name of "Leving" drugs is sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitor (SGLT-2i), which inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and glucose by inhibiting SGLT-2 on the renal tubules, and promotes the excretion of urinary glucose and urine sodium, thereby reducing the level of
    glucose in the blood.
    Simply put, sugar is excreted from the urine and blood sugar levels are low
    .

    The mechanism of action does not depend on the function of pancreatic islets, so it is widely applicable to the population
    .
    SGLT-2i monotherapy can reduce glycosylated hemoglobin
    (HbA 1c) by 0.
    5%-1.
    2%, and combination therapy based on metformin can further reduce
    HbA 1c by 0.
    4%-0.
    8%, in addition to hypoglycemia , and also has a certain effect
    of lowering blood pressure and weight reduction.


    Choose Advantage


    The main harm of diabetes lies in its complications, such as cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, heart failure), diabetic nephropathy, cerebral infarction and so on
    .
    When choosing hypoglycemic drugs, on the basis of satisfying effective hypoglycemic drugs, it is necessary to take into account the treatment
    of complications.

    The 2022 version of the ADA Diabetes Diagnosis and Treatment Standards states that ASCVD is recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or high-risk cardiovascular risk or chronic kidney disease (CKD) if there are no contraindications SGLT2 inhibitors with evidence of benefit from CKD, GLP-1RA [1].


    We compared clinical studies on cardiovascular events, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease outcomes for each drug and compiled the table below
    .

     

    Note: ASCVD: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; HF: heart failure; CKD: Chronic kidney disease
    .


    Among them, on February 2, 2021, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China officially approved the indication of dapagliflozin for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
    .
    In August 2022, empagliflozin was approved in China for the treatment of heart failure
    with preserved ejection fraction.
    In September 2022, dapagliflozin was approved for the treatment of chronic kidney disease in China, which shows that the effect of SGLT2i drugs is powerful and extensive
    .


    Safe to use

     


    Notes


    Urinary tract and genital tract infection: Because the drug excretes glucose through urine, the concentration of glucose in the urine increases, which increases the risk of urinary tract infection and genital fungal infection, so patients should drink more water when using the drug, keep the vulva clean, and stop the drug in time if there is vulvar itching
    .
    Recurrent urinary or genital infections within half a year should be used with caution or contraindicated
    .

    Volume depletion: the drug can inhibit the reabsorption of sodium and glucose, and has the effect of sodium excretion and osmotic diuresis, so there may be a risk of
    volume depletion.
    If the patient is taking antihypertensive drugs and diuretics at the same time, pay attention to monitor blood pressure, and seek medical attention
    in time if dehydration, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, etc.
    occur.

    Diabetic ketoacidosis: low incidence, mainly in type 1 diabetes, characterized by low blood glucose levels
    .
    Avoid a very low-carb diet (
    with a tendency to produce ketones)
    during medication.
    Contraindicated in the perioperative period, it is recommended to suspend use
    until 24 hours before strenuous exercise.

    Amputation: Casagliflozin increases the risk of
    lower limb amputation in a population.

    In summary, all kinds of net have their own advantages, generally suitable for adult type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertension, obesity, heart failure and mild to moderate chronic kidney disease patients, according to the patient's own situation to choose, pay attention to exclude contraindications, explain medication precautions, as far as possible to avoid the occurrence
    of adverse reactions.
