URINARY INFECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ISGLT-2

Abstract

The most frequent adverse reaction associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors therapy is genital mycotic infection, and to a lesser extent urinary infection, this is not dose-dependent. It is more common in women and men before turning 50 years old. The need to interrupt treatment for these infections is rare. It is recommended to avoid the use in patients with a history of recurrent urinary infections or with a recent episode of upper urinary tract infection and special care when indicating it to patients with a history of prostatic hypertrophy since pyelonephritis cases have been described.
