Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
With Jardiance there is a possibility of developing urinary tract infection on rare occasions. This tends to happen if strict precaution of washing the glans penis and prepuce (fore skin) is not taken. Because that drug excretes a lot of glucose through urine, so if proper washing is not done, then glucose remains on the glans penis, which helps bacterial and fungal growth. So it appears those precautions have not been taken. You may take necessary ant...more

Mr. lybrate-user Kumar, Thanks for the query.
While prescribing jardiance I am sure doctor must have given you instructions about washing the penis and prepuce cleanly so as to remove any glucose deposition that might occur there.

The average normal levels of creatinine in men are 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter, and 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter in women. These numbers rarely ever change unless there is a problem. There are tests available to measure the amount of creatinine being removed through your kidneys.
Individuals who currently take creatine and have kidney problems should discontinue use of creatine to prevent further kidney damage.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The drug given is known as SGLT -2 Inhibitor, which blocks this receptor in the renal tubules and prevents reabsorption of glucose. Because of that excess glucose in blood is excreted or sent out. This is a newer method in treating uncontrolled diabetes. This helps in better control of blood glucose levels. Plus helps in reducing excess weight (in case patient is overweight). Using this drug helps reduce Insulin dosage (if patient is on insulin). There...more
