Asking for Other, Male, 74 years old, Lahore

A 74 year patient of CKD - stage 5, on medicines only. Not diabetic. He recently read on internet about two medicines dapagliflozin and empagliflozin. In the internet, they claim that these medicines are for CKD treatment. As what we previously know that there is no medicine for CKD. Only patient has to maintain healthy blood pressure and normal blood sugar. Kindly advice. These medicines are really for the treatment of CKD? Is this something new treatment?

These medicines are for diabetes not for CKD. Control of diabetes and hypertension is needed to stop progression of CKD.
