Canagliflozin + metformin ER for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: the evidence to date
This article reviews the FDC of canagliflozin with metformin extended release.AREAS COVERED: A literature search was performed to identify publications describing the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin and metformin when used separately and in combinations.EXPERT OPINION: Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor which has shown benefits in reducing progression of renal disease and heart failure in patients with T2D. There was an increased incidence of amputation with canagliflozin in one study, but canagliflozin results in weight loss and reduction of blood pressure which contribute to the over...

Pharmacological management of connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension
Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2023 Oct 23. doi: 10.1080/14656566.2023.2273395. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe, progressive pulmonary vasculopathy (Group 1 Pulmonary Hypertension (PH 1)) that complicates the course of many connective tissue diseases (CTD) and significantly impacts the quality and length of life of patients. Due to the various tissues that can be affected by CTD, detailed testing is required to differentiate true PAH from other types of pulmonary hypertension caused by CTD such as left heart disease (Group 2 PH), pulmonary parenchymal disease (Group ...
