This study suggests an elevated risk for both UTIs and complex UTIs in men taking SGLT2 inhibitors, with a more pronounced risk for complex UTI in older men who may have benign prostatic hyperplasia-related voiding dysfunction. These findings highlight the need for a balanced approach in prescribing SGLT2 inhibitors, particularly in populations potentially more susceptible to UTIs.
