FDA Issues Warning Diabetes Drug May Cause Severe Genital Infection

Business Insider is reporting that the Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning that a class of type 2 diabetes drugs may cause a flesh-eating bacterial infection of the genitals. The condition developed in 12 patients after they took the drugs between March 2013 and May 2018. The FDA issued a statement saying "Patients should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any symptoms of tenderness, redness, or swelling of the genitals or the area from the genitals back to the rectum, and have a fever above 100.4 F or a general feeling of being unwell," the FDA said. The only drug not in the class linked to the condition is Merck & Co.'s Steglujan.
