Not to be used for type 1 diabetes; diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Not recommended for use in the treatment of diabetes to improve glycemic control when eGFR is persistently <45 mL/min/1.73 m
2. Interrupt treatment temporarily in patients who develop vol depletion until depletion is corrected. Consider discontinuation or temporary interruption of treatment if ketoacidosis is suspected. Decreased BP. Patients on anti-hypertensive therapy w/ history of hypotension. Patients w/ pancreatic disorders (eg, type 1 diabetes, history of pancreatitis or pancreatic surgery), insulin dose reduction, reduced caloric intake or increased insulin requirements due to infections, illness or surgery & alcohol abuse. Assess patients who present w/ signs & symptoms consistent w/ ketoacidosis including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, malaise, shortness of breath. Evaluate renal function prior to treatment initiation & periodically thereafter. Monitor vol status (eg, physical exam, BP measurements, lab tests including haematocrit & electrolytes) in case of intercurrent conditions that may lead to vol depletion eg, GI illness. DKA in patients concurrently taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Hypoglycemia when used w/ insulin or insulin secretagogue. Severe renal impairment (eGFR <25 mL/min/1.73 m
