Correct answer: A — Seek help for ketone symptoms, dehydration or genital infection

This scenario assesses Dapagliflozin warning symptoms in a UK pharmacy practice context. SGLT2 inhibitors can cause ketoacidosis, dehydration and genital infections. The best answer is Seek help for ketone symptoms, dehydration or genital infection because it addresses the principal clinical, legal or safety issue before routine supply. The other options are less appropriate because they either miss the key risk, delay necessary review, or would not meet expected BNF, NICE, MEP, MHRA or GPhC practice standards.
