JARDIANCE Rx

Correct volume depletion and assess for volume contraction before initiating. Monitor for symptomatic hypotension after starting therapy (esp. elderly, renal impairment or low systolic BP, or on diuretics); more frequently if volume contraction expected. Assess for ketoacidosis in presence of signs/symptoms of metabolic acidosis, regardless of blood glucose levels; discontinue if suspected, evaluate and treat; consider risk factors before initiation (eg, pancreatic insulin deficiency, caloric restriction, alcohol abuse). Consider temporarily discontinuing prior to scheduled surgery (for ≥3 days) or other clinical situations (eg, prolonged fasting due to illness or post-surgery). Evaluate renal function prior to starting and monitor periodically thereafter; more frequently if eGFR <60mL/min/1.73m². Risk of acute kidney injury in hypovolemia, chronic renal insufficiency, CHF, and concomitant drugs (eg, diuretics, ACEIs, ARBs, NSAIDs). Consider temporarily discontinuing in reduced oral intake or fluid losses; monitor for acute kidney injury; discontinue and treat if occurs. Necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum (Fournier's gangrene); discontinue and treat immediately if suspected; use alternative antidiabetic. Increased risk of genital mycotic infections, UTIs, or elevated LDL-C; monitor and treat as appropriate. Discontinue if hypersensitivity reaction occurs; treat promptly and monitor until resolve. Elderly. Pregnancy (avoid during 2^nd & 3^rd trimesters). Nursing mothers: not recommended.
