RESUMO
PURPOSE: Despite effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT 2) inhibitors, concerns have been raised about the potential side effects of these drugs. Thus, a pharmaco-vigilance study was designed that aims to identify any discrepancies between the reported adverse events & assess the safety profile of SGLT2 inhibitors. METHODS: We studied diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), euglycemic DKA, amputation, urinary tract infection (UTI), mycotic genital infection & hypotension associated with empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin & ertugliflozin in RCTs and reporting databases. WHO's VigiBase, FAERS, EMA's EudraVigilance & DAEN were thoroughly studied to obtain spontaneously reported real-world adverse events. RESULTS: Different SGLT2 inhibitors exhibit varied side effect profiles. Additionally, the findings suggest that adverse events may be more likely to occur in a broader population in the real world than in a highly inclusive clinical trial subset CONCLUSION: Our study provides comparison of the real world reported adverse events to adverse events reported in the clinical trials studying the efficacy of SGLT 2 inhibitors.

Cocaine-associated coronary artery disease and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been well described in the literature. However, very few cases of cocaine-induced multivessel coronary artery disease have been reported. We report a very rare case of cocaine-associated triple vessel coronary artery disease in a 41-year-old male patient. The patient underwent urgent catheterization that revealed occlusion of his proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), mid-circumflex artery, and right coronary artery with angioplasty and stent placement. His hospitalization course was complicated by cardiogenic shock, shock liver, acute renal failure, and sepsis.
