Dapagliflozin is a inhibitor of the sodium glucose cotransporter so does Dapagliflozin cause glucose to just stay in the cell or does it cause glucose to exit the cell? Also if does cause glucose to exit the cell is this a passive or active process. I would think that it would be passive since the glucose is going from high to low?? So is it faciliated passive diffusion??

Dapagliflozin is called as the inhibitor of the sodium glucose cotransporter. This is responsible for reabsorbing glucose from urine into blood in the kidneys.
* Dapagliflozin by inhibiting the sodium glucose cotransporter it will reduces the glucose that is reabsorbed, this causes increased glucose excretion in urine.
