JARDIANCE  (EMPAGLIFLOZIN):  Empagliflozin is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Empagliflozin is also used in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease to lower the risk of death from heart attack or stroke. Empagliflozin works by increasing the removal of sugar by your kidneys.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2014-08-01

 1  Type 2 Diabetes Review 1B Very distresing isomnia. Restless legs. Extreme joint pain so concerned that I once presented to the Emergency department. Full blood test, scans and ultrasound showed nothing. Overwhelming depression. Extreme random pain. Body anxiety..a feeling of overall physical distress. Constantly tired. Yesterday I needed to dispense another months supply it cost $56 for 30 x 25mg tabs but something said to me maybe you should check out that drug. See what others have experienced...it was that little voice inside your head that we know we should listen to. Well here I am this is about the third site I have visited and I have been overwhelmed with sadness to read the terrible experiences people have been put through because of this toxic drug. Thank-you for giving me the opportunity to at least share my experience. I pray for improved health of all of us. F 56 2 years

 2  Trying to reduce high blood sugars Due to increased UTIs reduced dosage from 10mg to 5mg to 2.5mg and ultimately stopped taking it all together. Drinking a gallon of water each day, so not a dehydration issue. After stopping Jardiance gained 20lbs within 4 months. No other medication, dietary, or physical activity changes to contribute to the weight gain. Had to get super strict with calorie counting to start taking it off again. F 37 18 months

 4   After being on medication for one year I developed a yeast infection. The medication worked great for me by keeping my sugar levels at a normal range. I even had to decrease my fast acting insulin. I really am disappointed that I got this yeast infection. Do I have to stop the medication now? F 68 1 years

 5  Type 2 Diabetes No Side Effects Was taking 60 units of Lantus and 40 of Humalog daily. After a single dose of Jardiance, I had to immediately cease the Humalog due to hypos and dial down the Lantus to 20 units a day. After 30 days my fasting sugars are stable at 110 and post meal averages at 135. I have also lost 6 pounds. Unbelievable! M 50 30 days

 5  Type II Diabetic Feel a little weak, but I think it’s because my blood sugar was 300-500 for 6 mo, so my body is adjusting to normal blood sugar. The pharmacist said things should normalize in 2 weeks. I had pretty much given up on life. Insulin made me gain 50# along with other health problems with weight gain. Then I tried Victoza which gave me horrible stomach cramps and I gave up on it after 4 days. I also tried Ozempic, which was even worse. It gave me pancreatitis. I’m on Keto, but I wasn’t able to get my morning blood sugar below 200 until I took Jardiance. It was 121 the next morning and 94 this morning. AMAZING! I wish a doctor had put me on this medication in 2014 when it was approved, cause I’ve been diabetic for 8 years. F 59 3 days
