Consider Whether Flozin Benefits Outweigh Risks

August 2017

You'll hear more controversy about when to use SGLT2 inhibitors (Jardiance, etc) for type 2 diabetes...as more data on CV impact emerge.

Invokana (canagliflozin) joins Jardiance (empagliflozin) as a flozin that lowers CV risk when added to metformin in type 2s at high CV risk.
