Recommended Action
      Management Caution is advised if SGLT-2 inhibitors are coadministered with diuretics and other hypotensive agents, particularly in the elderly and patients with impaired renal function. Prior to initiating SGLT-2 inhibitors, volume status should be assessed and corrected, if necessary. Clinical and laboratory monitoring are recommended during therapy, including electrolytes, fluid status, renal function, and blood pressure. If volume depletion occurs, treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors should be interrupted until the condition is corrected.
