SGLT2 inhibitors have been reported to suppress the complications of diabetes and reduce overall mortality. However, little is known about the types of symptoms that may occur in response to an overdose of an SGLT2 inhibitor. Here, we describe a case of intoxication caused by an overdose of an SGLT2 inhibitor.
