Adverse effects
editTo reduce the risk of developing ketoacidosis (a serious condition where the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones) after surgery, the FDA has approved changes to the prescribing information for SGLT2 inhibitor diabetes medications, recommending they be temporarily stopped before scheduled surgery. Empagliflozin should each be stopped at least three days before scheduled surgery.[5]
Symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing.[5]
History
editThe combination preparation was developed and marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company.[6][7]
