The Ministry of Health (Minsa), through the National Directorate of Pharmacies and Drugs, warned about the side effects of a diabetes medicine.
These are Sodium Co-Transporter Glucose 2, which are medications that, together with the diet and exercise, reduce blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These inhibitors reduce blood glucose by making the kidneys extract thebody sugar through urine.
However, it has been detected that in some patients there is a risk of dehydration, so the authorities recommend drinking a lot of water during their treatment.Dr. Eric Ulloa, general secretary of the Minsa, said that if water is not taken, dehydration can be reached in people who take medications with that component, so patients should try to be always hydrated.
