  • Pregnancy or women who are breast-feeding
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • Symptomatic hypotension or systolic BP \>95 mmHg on 2 consecutive measurements
  • Active malignancy requiring treatment at the time of visit
  • Severe (eGFR \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2 by CKD-EPI), unstable, or rapidly progressing renal disease at the time of randomization
  • History of recurrent UTI/bladder/kidney infections
  • Asthma with ongoing wheezing
  • Known or suspected broncho-constrictive or bronchospastic lung disease (ARDS, emphysema)
