It was a great Friday night out with a group of doctors from MediPulse and meeting new friends from AstraZeneca.
Topic was on how to protect cardiorenal beyong HbA1c in a diabetic patient and followed by the importance on treating early high cholesterol patient.
Forxiga is a brand name for the medication dapagliflozin, which belongs to a class of drugs called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Forxiga is used to treat type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. It works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, which reduces the reabsorption of glucose from the kidneys and leads to increased excretion of glucose in the urine.
Forxiga is usually taken orally as a tablet once a day. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin or insulin. Forxiga is not recommended for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Great interactions with the friendly doctors from MediPulse & managers from AZ.
Crestor is a brand name for the medication rosuvastatin, which belongs to a class of drugs called statins. It is used to lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.
Crestor works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By reducing the production of cholesterol, Crestor helps to decrease the amount of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in the blood, while increasing the levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Crestor is usually taken orally as a tablet once a day, with or without food.
Great place, great friends, great food!
