 2  CKD I started getting vaginal itching and then it became a full blown yeast infection. The redness and swelling crawled down my inner thighs; my pubic area swelled; the redness and itching continued up to my stomach area. The itching felt like the worst poison ivy infection; it felt as if things were boiling. I was somewhat disappointed that I was unable to continue with Farxiga; however, the side effect is horrific. I am still trying to get rid of the fungal infection (being out of state does not help when you are in need of medical attention). I have been on the phone with my nephrologist, my gynecologist, and finally had to go to a walk-in clinic. They prescribed Fluconazole 100 MG, but it is not recommended to use if you have kidney disease. Therefore, I had to contact my nephrologist once again. In short, the possible help Farxiga could have offered, is not worth the fungal side effect, which diminished my quality of life for the past six days and still counting. F 67 34 days

A fost o experienta ingrozitoare, imi e frica de acest medicament. Atentie, csnd vi se prescrie! Nu e asa bun, dupa cum e laudat. Sau se vrea sa iasa studiile bune! Interese ale firmelor de medicamente si ale medicilor. Din pacate. F 54 13 days

 5  Diabetes Type 2 The only side effect occurs if I eat a high carb meal, which is extreme thirst and urge to urinate. Of course, I urinate more because I'm drinking a lot more water. This really works! My average fasting used to be 150 mg/dl three months ago, but since taking Farxiga, my fasting is now 97 to 99. The metformin alone no longer was effective, but since adding Farxiga to my daily regimen, I've been seeing amazing results. On 1 March 2023, my AIC was 7.2, but I'm anticipating that it will go down to 6.0 before my next doctor's appointment in July. So far, with home testing, my average glucose reading is 132 mg/dl. Plus, I've lost three pounds already. F 57 35 days

 4  Type 2 Diabetes So far so good. It helped me with my breathing because it got rid of the excess water in my stomach. It does make you pee a lot if you ate too much sugar. Probably a little dehydrating if you are not pushing fluids. Overall, I hope it helps me to reduce my insulin needs which it has and hopefully I can lose some weight while taking Farxiga I think it's a great drug for diabetics. It's one more tool to use.
