hi just wonderd what side efects if any ,thank uI'm on empagliflozin, similar medication. What is it you want to know?
my nurse talked a bout itI felt nauseous for the first month of taking it, but that went away. I did not urinate more often, but for longer when I did. Though that is how it works.
Why do you want to take it? It is a new medication so still expensive, so normally it is prescribed when other medications have failed or are not enough on their own.
I was put on Dapagliflozin 2 months ago because the Alogliptin (Vipidia) I was taking was not working despite the DN doubling the dose. Lots of headaches, nausea and itchy skin rash came with it too. I have just organised a blood test so it'll be interesting to see the results but that's not until19th April. I have lost 14lbs so far, partly to do with the drug but also to a reduced carb diet and smaller portions. I do drink a lot of water and pee a lot but already feel better but I still need to lose a further 3 stone. It does feel a bit daunting at times but my BG readings are averaging 6.8 so it's all in the right direction.hi anyone on here on DAPAGLIFLOZIN my doc wont to put me on it.
