Article is unbalanced
This article is very unbalanced. It is very strange for an article like this to devote almost 3/4 of the text to potential side effects, while hardly even mentioning any potential benefits. It clearly must have a positive risk/benefit ratio because it has been approved by the FDA for treatment of type II diabetes, but the article is skewed to make the reader think otherwise.

What text in the source supports the text in question?

 * Added "Other sources recommend Canagliflozin as a preferred treatment for those not adequately controlled on metformin." with 3 references. Physicians have differing opinions and I thought it right to include both.Daveburstein (talk) 23:58, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

"Other sources recommend Canagliflozin as a preferred treatment for those not adequately controlled on metformin. "

The ref does not even mention canagliflozin? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:06, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

As a longevity drug
"Canagliflozin (Cana), a clinically important anti-diabetes drug, leads to a 14% increase in median lifespan and a 9% increase in the 90th percentile age when given to genetically heterogeneous male mice from 7 months of age, but does not increase lifespan in female mice. Canagliflozin retards age-related lesions in heart, kidney, liver, and ... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35974129/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35974129/" Should this be mentioned at text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treonsverdery (talk • contribs) 22:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
