Remogliflozin Etabonate is an anti-diabetic medication (sodium glucose-dependent renal transporter 2) that works by removing excess sugar from your body through urine. Metformin is another anti-diabetic medication (biguanide) that works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying sugar (glucose) absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
