Empagliflozin, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, can increase the risk of certain side effects such as urinary tract infections and genital yeast infections due to increased glucose in the urine. It may also cause dehydration, leading to low blood pressure, and has been associated with a risk of ketoacidosis, a serious condition where the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. It's important for patients to discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider.
