Introduction Sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert plasma glucose-lowering effects via urinary glucose excretion. Recent clinical trials have shown the various beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, including reductions in

Introduction Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are effective antidiabetic agents with remarkable cardiovascular benefits ( 1 ). Even though SGLT2 inhibitors primarily exert their pharmacological effect in the kidneys, the
