Thanks for this amazing and true video. I was hospitalized and in a severely bad condition with a sugar reading of 107 , I went into a diabetic coma.
My levels weren't coming down with the insulin and metformin alone. It only started coming down the day I started Forxiga 10mg once daily.
My side effects are sweating, occasional headaches, light headedness and occasional cramps. These are however not severe.
Overall, FORXIGA / FARXIGA is an amazing medication.

I’d like to know from anyone who’s on this if it works for you how long did it take for you to notice improvements in your blood sugar I just got out of the hospital feb 6 2023 after going for a uti and got admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis I’ve had uncontrolled blood sugar for a while im what’s referred to as a bad diabetic in the fact that im bad with my taking my insulin as prescribed I always get frustrated when I don’t see good numbers even though i eat properly and take meds properly then I stop taking insulin I really need to get back on track to im just wondering if this pill is worth bringing up to my doctor when I go see her on feb 14

[@kkay7973]

I like the drug but what they don’t tell you is when you pee a lot you loose all your vitimans so you must take them more often so you don’t become deficient.

[@Kangoo9]

My doctor prescribed me Forxiga 3 weeks ago and my GFR decreased by 5ml instead of 2ml previously. Is it expected ? How long does it keep decreasing the GFR ?

[@mbambuflavia4297]

[@Mary-zm7nz]

Can Farxiga make any white patches inside the cheek of mouth

[@priestlygarments4004]

Hey Doctor! I’ve been having a rumbling stomach and burning sensation after eating in the stomach. The acidity has caused my tongue to have a thick white coating for 3 months now. What should I take to stomach the burning in my stomach, indigestion, excessive flatulence, dark brown stool and acid reflux cough. What can I buy? My stomach is making noises right now!

[@angela1981]

You got that from this medicine?

[@JCKay]

He's a pharmacist. If you have severe side effects go to the Doctor.

[@estherbadia1142]

My doctor prescribed it for CKD but I am scare because read can cause a rare bacteria fasciitis

[@HealthRX]

I can understand your concern, but the answer really lies in your statement, the word “rare”. I’d say discuss your concerns with your doctor and let him or her guide your decision, but once again “rare”. Wishing you the best.

[@samwilson2797]

Try something else, that's what I did. The side effects are bad for me. I adjusted diet to get control.

[@nagappasubramaniam629]

Can I take forxiga at night instead of morning

[@renel7303]

Only if you don't mind getting up to pee frequently or the risk of not getting up to pee. 😊

[@bricktop6402]

Can this drug cause slow urine ? Mine has slowed since taking this 😳

[@ppumpkin3282]

I do, I almost constantly have an urge to pee, then I pee just a little.
