Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor: Patient safety and clinical importance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article by Raut and Maheshwari[1] is indeed interesting. However, the suggestion made by the authors on the usefulness of empagliflozin in diabetic perioperative patients needs contemplation from the point of patient safety and risk factors, as it causes euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis. Moreover, in May 2015, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning of ketoacidosis with the use of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors.[2] In addition, the mechanisms involved in the development of ketoacidosis and the risk factors for its occurrence among the susceptible cases on SGLT-2 inhibitors are described.

Safety of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors during Ramadan fasting: Evidence, perceptions and guidelines
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new glucose-lowering therapy for T2DM with documented benefits on blood glucose, hypertension, weight reduction and long term cardiovascular benefit. They have an inherent osmotic diuretic effect and lead to some volume loss and possible dehydration. There is some concern about the safety of using SGLT2 inhibitors in Muslim type 2 diabete...
متن کاملEuglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis by sodium glucose co-transporter inhibitors: Real but preventable concern
We are thankful for the comments on ‘Sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) inhibitor: Patient safety and clinical importance’, and we appreciate the concern raised for its risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). During clinical development programs for a new drug approval, it is not uncommon that some unexpected safety issues may go unobserved. Interestingly, the incidence of ketoacidos...

The efficacy of the administration of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor or the co-administration of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor to insulin therapy is not well known. A total of 58 patients with type 2 diabetes, admitted for glycemic control, were randomized to basal-bolus insulin therapy (BBT) alone or BBT plus 50 mg ipragliflozin and/o...

This study investigated the safety and efficacy of the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor luseogliflozin with differing carbohydrate intakes in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants were randomly assigned to 3 carbohydrate-adjusted meals for 14 days (days 1-14; a high carbohydrate [HC; 55% total energy carbohydrate] and high glycaemic index [HGI] meal; an ...

INTRODUCTION Dapagliflozin is a selective inhibitor of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) that increases urinary glucose excretion to reduce hyperglycemia in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A robust carcinogenicity risk assessment was undertaken to assess the chronic safety of dapagliflozin and SGLT2 inhibition. METHODS Genotoxicity potential of dapagliflozin and its metab...
