After taking jardiance25 mg glimepiride 2 mg sugar medicine, my penis forehead is itching and not opening. What should I do?

Question

Mr. lybrate-user Kumar, Thanks for the query. While prescribing jardiance I am sure doctor must have given you instructions about washing the penis and prepuce cleanly so as to remove any glucose deposition that might occur there. The reason being Jardiance increases glucose excretion through urine. This helps in better blood glucose control and even weight reduction. But if care is not taken, then there is a strong possibility of developing fungal infection of prepuce and tip of penis area. If the problem is severe, then better to visit a doctor locally. Thanks.
