Medicines (SGLT-2 inhibitors) used to treat diabetes, chronic kidney disease and heart failure – rare side effects

SGLT-2 inhibitor medicines are used to improve the treatment of diabetes, chronic kidney disease and heart failure in some patients.

Research has found that there are some very rare side effects associated with patients living with diabetes which appear to be more common in patients taking these medicines.

The leaflet accessible below provides some helpful advice and information for patients who are taking these medicines, it covers more about these rare side effects, how common they are, symptoms to look out for and what to do if you are concerned.

Access the information leaflet.
