Don’t know - but one easy way to test if it at least has some SGLT2 in it is to get a urine dip strip that has glucose on it. You’ll have through the roof glucose on the dipstick.
Fascinating incidental issue with SGLT2’s is that individuals being monitored for alcohol abuse, who periodically get called in to give a specimen (usually court ordered and a urine specimen) were having results come back positive. The investigation, was that it was in patients with SGLT2’s and when the specimen wasn’t continually refrigerated. Some type of fermentation seemed to occur and there were a few people who had legal trouble as a result before this was figured out.

What urine dip strips do you recommend?
Wow I really regret getting the vivoo [not that it matters]
This one will work, has a bunch of other parameters, but the glucose will be the interesting one.

after a couple of days of break from my normal empagliflozin/canagliflozin [unlikely to be fully washed out], 200mg elder project canagliflozin earlier today does not turn the teal on the urine strip red (so far)
[or… it’s lighter red a minute later, but definitely didn’t turn red nearly as instantly as before]. still have to do further testing esp with my empagliflozin since i’m not going to get the easy supply of canagliflozin I once did (for a while)
The reading IS supposed to take 30 seconds

updating more towards it being useless.
or wait, the urine strip DOES turn red if I do 3 doses. [though it also loses some of its red more over time, doesn’t turn red AS quickly as the previous] thing

A single dose within hours should cause a high amount of glucose to be in the urine, in general.
Your other sglt2 I imagine does this, but if this other one that you’ve procured doesn’t, it probably is not what it says it is.
