Beijing Science Sun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (300485.SZ) announced that its subsidiary, Beijing Science Sun Biological Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., recently received the "Acceptance Notice" from the National Medical Products Administration for the domestic production drug registration application of Dapagliflozin and Metformin Extended-Release Tablets.
The compound tablet of SGLT-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride was developed by British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and approved by the FDA in 2014. It was approved for marketing in China in June 2023.
SGLT-2 inhibitors work through a non-insulin-dependent mechanism by reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys and directly excreting glucose through urine to lower blood sugar levels. The combination of SGLT-2 inhibitors with metformin has demonstrated better glycemic control and fewer side effects.
