Off-label use mirrors diabetes dosing (e.g. 100–300 mg once daily before the first meal) under a clinician. A prescription drug; not an approved longevity regimen.
Morning
Oral tablet (canagliflozin)
Approved antihypertensive dosing is 20–80 mg once daily; the metabolic/PPARγ effects are most evident at the higher 80 mg (and study) doses, under a clinician. Not an approved metabolic or longevity regimen; blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium should be monitored.
