A review of the safety of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors
Abstract The development of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represents a major turning point in the effort to preserve kidney function and prevent cardiovascular events and heart failure hospitalisations in those at high risk. These agents have now transcended their original glucose‐lowering indication and provide a range of clinical
