Empagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor widely used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and heart failure. Our case study involved a 68-year-old patient who was admitted to the hospital because of a cerebral infarction. The patient was simultaneously diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and heart failure, for which empagliflozin was initiated. However, food and fluid intake were reduced due to poor appetite. In addition to the side effects of empagliflozin, the patient developed severe dehydration and cardiac arrest. Careful assessment of dehydration and preventive water intake is recommended in elderly patients and those with neurological deficits, especially when receiving empagliflozin.
