xigduo-lawsuitXigduo XR is an SGLT2 inhibitor drug used in combination with diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes. Xigduo XR contains a combination of two active ingredients, dapagliflozin and metformin, which help control blood sugar levels. Xigduo XR works by helping the kidneys get rid of glucose from the bloodstream, as well as by lowering glucose production in the liver and by causing intestines to absorb less glucose.

However, injuries such as kidney failure, heart attack, and ketoacidosis have been linked to brand name SGLT2 Inhibitors, such as Xigduo XR and injured users may be able to file a Xigduo XR lawsuit. Other SGLT2 inhibitors have been linked to these serious consequences as well, and are sold with brand names: Invokana, Farxiga, Jardiance, Glyxambi, and Xigduo XR. These medications are called sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and essentially all work by helping the kidneys to remove sugar in the blood through urine.

Type 2 Diabetes medicine may cause serious side effects

In March 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a warning regarding the use of these SGLT2 inhibitors, which reports have shown can lead to a life-threatening condition called ketoacidosis, as well as to kidney failure and heart attack.

The FDA has received 20 reports of these SGLT2 drugs causing ketoacidosis in users, which is a serious medical condition in which the body is unable to produce enough insulin, and levels of blood acids called ketones are too high. Ketoacidosis is a serious medical condition that, if left untreated, can lead to a diabetic coma or even death.
