Elpida 200 200 mg Tablet

Indications & Uses

Elpida is indicated for:

Pharmacology

Sotagliflozin is a tablet taken by mouth that blocks two transporters, SGLT1 and SGLT2. It improves blood glucose and metabolic control by working in two places. In the gut, it blocks SGLT1 locally. In the proximal renal tubule, it blocks SGLT2 throughout the body.

When SGLT1 is blocked in the proximal intestine, glucose is absorbed later and in smaller amounts. This blunts and delays the rise in blood glucose after meals (postprandial hyperglycaemia). When SGLT2 is blocked, the kidney reabsorbs less glucose and the renal threshold for glucose drops, so more glucose leaves the body in the urine.

Dosage Reference

Reference Information Only

Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.

Adults:

Sotagliflozin is taken by mouth. The usual dose is 200 mg once daily, taken before the first meal of the day. If a patient is tolerating the 200 mg dose well and needs better glycaemic control, the dose may be raised to 400 mg once daily, but only after at least three months.

Side Effects

Sotagliflozin can cause low blood pressure (hypotension), and it can affect the kidneys (renal impairment) and the liver (hepatic impairment). Genital mycotic infections and urinary tract infections can occur. Other effects include nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain, excessive thirst, and feeling tired all the time. Tests may show high levels of ketones in the urine, or high beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in the blood. Some people have difficulty breathing, or rapid, deep breathing. Difficulty paying attention or confusion can also happen, and so can rapid weight loss.

Cautions & Contraindications

Warnings & Precautions

Hypotension Sotagliflozin causes the volume of fluid inside the blood vessels to shrink. So before starting Sotagliflozin, check the patient's volume status and correct any hypovolemia. This applies to elderly patients, patients with renal impairment, patients with low systolic blood pressure and patients on diuretics. Impairment in renal function Check renal function before starting Sotagliflozin and then at regular intervals. Starting Sotagliflozin is not recommended when eGFR is less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. The medicine should be stopped if eGFR stays persistently below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2. Hepatic impairment Sotagliflozin is not recommended in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, because exposure to the medicine is increased in these patients. Genital mycotic infections Monitor for these infections and treat them as appropriate. Urinary tract infections Consider a temporary interruption of Sotagliflozin while pyelonephritis and urosepsis are being treated.

Contraindications

Don't give Sotagliflozin to anyone who is hypersensitive to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
