SGLT2 Inhibitors in Bangladesh

This shelf holds four different molecules whose names all end the same way, and each one numbers its strengths differently. That is the thing worth understanding before you compare any two boxes.

SGLT2 Inhibitors sits under Anti-Diabetic (Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs).

Four Molecules, Not One

SGLT2 inhibitors are oral tablets prescribed in the management of type 2 diabetes. They are sometimes called gliflozins, after the ending every molecule in the class shares.

Four of them are stocked here — empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin and ertugliflozin — under a long list of Bangladeshi brand names that give no clue which is which.

The generic name is printed on every listing underneath the brand name. On this shelf it is the only reliable way to tell one product from another, because the brand names deliberately resemble each other.

The Number on the Box Is Not a Dose You Can Compare

Each molecule uses its own scale, so the figure in a product name means nothing across molecules.

Molecule	Strengths stocked	Sold here as
Empagliflozin	10mg and 25mg	Empa, Emfogen, Emglif, Sucozin
Dapagliflozin	5mg and 10mg	Dapaglip, Dapazin, Diadap, Glycema
Canagliflozin	100mg	Canarol, Glicana
Ertugliflozin	5mg and 15mg	Ertuglif, Ertuglip

A canagliflozin tablet marked 100 and an empagliflozin tablet marked 10 are not a tenfold difference in anything. They are different drugs on different scales, and the only figure that matters is the one on your prescription beside the molecule name.

Why the Brand Names Look Alike

Bangladeshi manufacturers build brand names out of the generic. Empagliflozin becomes Empa, Emfogen, Emglif, Empadus; dapagliflozin becomes Dapaglip, Dapazin, Diadap.

It makes the shelf easy to scan and easy to get wrong, because two boxes a letter apart can be two different molecules from two different companies.

Read the generic line rather than the front of the box, and check it against the prescription every time you reorder. A refill is where substitutions happen quietly.

Check What Else Is Already in the Tablet

Most people prescribed a gliflozin are taking something else for the same condition, and metformin is the usual companion.

That matters because the same two ingredients are also sold as a single combination tablet, on a different shelf. Somebody moved onto a combination is meant to stop the separate metformin at the same time, not carry on with both.

The tablets on this page are single-ingredient. If your prescription names two molecules on one line, it is a combination product and it is not here.

Either way, tell whoever is prescribing exactly what you are already taking, including anything bought before this prescription was written.

Molecule sets the band first, and the four do not sit at the same level as each other.

Strength moves it next, within a molecule — the higher tablet of a pair is a different figure from the lower.

Manufacturer accounts for the rest, and with more than twenty companies making the same few molecules, the spread across identical content is the thing worth looking at on this shelf.

Before You Order or Reorder

• Read the generic name on the listing, not the brand on the front.
• Check the strength belongs to that molecule’s own scale.
• Keep the prescription beside you when reordering.
• Tell your doctor every other diabetes medicine you take.
• Ask before switching between manufacturers mid-course.
• Take any question about timing or side effects to your prescriber.
• Keep the strip in its carton, away from heat and damp.
• Check the expiry on the strip as well as the box.

Upload the prescription with the order so the pharmacist can check the molecule and the strength before anything is dispatched.

Where a prescription combines this class with another, that sits on Combined Oral Hypoglycemic, and metformin on its own is Biguanides.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SGLT2 inhibitor mean?

It names a class of oral tablets prescribed in type 2 diabetes. Every molecule in the class ends in -gliflozin, which is why they are also called gliflozins.

Is a 100mg tablet stronger than a 10mg one?

Not across molecules. Canagliflozin is scaled in hundreds and empagliflozin in tens, so the figures are not comparable between different drugs.

Can I switch between brands?

Ask the prescriber or pharmacist. The same generic at the same strength is the same medicine whoever made it, but a switch is still worth confirming rather than assuming.

Do these need a prescription?

Yes, all of them. Upload it with the order and the pharmacist checks the molecule and strength against it before dispatch.

Why are there so many similar names?

Manufacturers build brand names out of the generic, so several companies producing empagliflozin all arrive at names starting Emp or Em.

Which molecule is right for me?

That is a decision for the doctor treating you, alongside everything else in your regimen. This page describes what the shelf holds, not what anyone should take.
