I Have a really been working on my weight myself I have a bike to ride start eating healthier clean foods and I see a big change is working again thank you
Oh dear. The side effects are scary😂
I have been on Forxiga for almost 7 months along with Glucophage, seen good results to be honest.
Thanks for the informative video 👍👍👍
I lost 12 lbs in a month taking this medicine but it do make you dehydrated drink plenty of water that do make you dehydrated but overall it helps a lot 12 lb in a month I was amazed it really help with weight loss
Extremely Helpful. Thank you
Thank You! this video was to the point & focused on the info i was seeking - without excessive Unnecessary info
You're welcome! Funny enough, that is one of my longer videos. I barely make the over 10 minutes. Glad it helped though.
Very informative!!
Better than my pharmacist! Thank you Sir, liked and subscribed!
Thank you for the information.
Thanks for sharing this video and explaining everything i appreciate it. I just started taking this medication and 10 mg. I was scared to take it because of the side effects but they have to list any side effects. I have stage 3 CKD a rare kidney disease and i trust God to take care of me and i pray this meditation has no bad side effects for me. God Bless all.
I'm right there with you, stage 3 CKD too. I'm terrified. Just diagnosed Thursday. What's odd is I noticed on my labwork after leaving my doctor's office my WBC is high and my sodium is low - so now I'm not even sure if I should be on this if it blocks sodium!! I'm so terrified, but I"m a christian too.
Thank you so much for all the information that you’ve given Concerning Farxiga, my doctor increase my Prescription from 5 mg to 10 mg because he wanted me to lose weight I didn’t agree with that so I started doing some research and I’ve been being nauseated and a lot of the symptoms that you say I’ve had thank you so much for being so thorough God bless you Diana
Good overall video. Nice to see the medication review from the eyes of a pharmacist.
Glad you liked it!
LOL, it works because it makes you drink water, that's all, it's ridiculous. Do some research on the effects of drinking more water when it comes to lowering blood sugar, reducing chance of hypoglycemia, kidney function.
Hi Koiku! 👋 Thank you for your informative video on Farxiga's side effects - your insights are invaluable! Grateful for your detailed breakdown, especially highlighting hypoglycemia signs and the importance of having an action plan. Dehydration concerns are well-addressed, emphasizing hydration for users. Your gender-inclusive approach discussing yeast infections in both men and women adds significant value. The warning about urinary tract infections is crucial for awareness.
The mention of ketoacidosis and the suggestion to monitor ketones with test strips is proactive advice. Bringing attention to the rare but serious Fournier's gangrene ensures viewers are well-informed about potential risks.
Keep up the fantastic work in educating and empowering your audience! 💊👨⚕ #HealthEducation #Farxiga #MedicalInsights
I started Farxiga(10mg) today replacing Januvia(100Mg) taken 1 tablet every morning. The possible side effects are quite concerning and almost make me not want to take. I will stop taking Farxiga immediately and contact my doctor.
I began Farxiga before vacation. There are very few opportunities to stay hydrated while flying and driving on heavily congested streets in an unfamiliar metropolis. I stopped because of the terrible thirst and dry mouth, followed by dizziness.
RXM73: How was your experience with Farxiga? My doctor just gave me a prescription for it yesterday to replace Januvia, so I am in the same situation as you were a year ago. I've been on Januvia for years, and I was surprised when my doctor said that it really isn't that effective as a medication.
@@juliecrowe7961 Are you still on it? I just got a prescription for it and will start taking it tomorrow. I am to start with 5 mg per day and then go up to 10. Your strategy for handling your vacation made perfect sense.
Very informative video! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Well explained.
Thank you
You are welcome. Glad it was beneficial.
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Welcome! Glad you found it helpful and thanks for the feedback.
Excellent video!
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
My sodium is always around 130 I take medication for my blood pressure that makes me urinate frequently about every hour some times I'm also on flomax. Would I be more prone to the side effects of this medication?
Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Just diagnosed Thursday. What's odd is I noticed on my lab work after leaving my doctor's office my WBC is high and my sodium is low - so now I'm not even sure if I should be on this if it blocks sodium!! Help!!
Great video
Thank you Sir.
Thanks for your well explanation. Can you do what is diabetes video?
Absolutely. I’ll put it on my calendar.
Thank you for the information. I ttake JArdiance and understand that the side effects are similar.
Can you take SGLT2 inhibitors if you are a type 2 diabetic patient who is 70 and also has an enlarged prostate?
Thank you!❤
My pleasure!
Thank you for this explanation but I do hope you mention more side effect of this med ,like constipation.
At night time Forxiga creating lots of urination is this safe or do i need to consult my doctor ?
Thank for the video extremely helpful and I would think the same thing would be for Jardiance which is in the same class as Farxiga. You explained the side effects of very well which my doctor failed to do. Please keep the videos coming because it helps those who do not get the explanation from those from there doctor.
One thing not explained in your video and I have watch similar videos close to yours, it is proposed that you can drink more water in order to cure urinary tract infections and yeast infections is that true, because it is not in your video at all.
I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching.
To answer your questions, FARXIGA is in the same class as JARDIANCE and share common side effects. I have a video on JARDIANCE on my channel if u are interested.
With respect to the urinary tract and yeast infections, keeping hydrated is definitely a recommended way to prevent such infections.
This class works by causing the excretion of glucose through the urine which creates a conducive environment for the growth of microbes. The more hydrated you are, the less concentrated the urine hence theoretically the smaller the risk of developing these infections.
Unfortunately, drinking water alone may not be enough to effect a cure once one comes down with any of these infections.
I had the lower back pain that extended into my hips. It got where it was excrutiating, especially when seated. After I quit taking it for a week, the pain disappeared.
can someone who has hepatitis c take farxiga ?
I started taking farxiga last June, 5mgs. only. After 1 month nephro increased it to 10mgs. After 1 month, everything were good like Microalbumin, GFR, and other lab works. Also decrease in urine foam. But d problem I developed constipation and I’m worried about it. I’m planning to stop taking… I’m CKD patient stage 3B since January, 2023. I’m 70yrs. old
If I were you, I would not stop it. It happened to me and I increased more fibers in my diet and I am OK.
Put on Jardiance, and after a month I suffered from ED, stopped it and after 1 week back to normal. Was wondering if Farxiga does the same.
My doctor prescribed me Forxiga 3 weeks ago and my GFR decreased by 5ml instead of 2ml previously. Is it expected ? Will my GFR keep decreasing more if I keep taking forxiga ?
My understanding is your GFR supposed to come back later.
@@etsukosmith4219 yeah thats what happened thx
Some corrections
Hypoglycemia risks are only increased with if its combined with sulfonyl ureas or insulins which are known for causing hypoglycemia
Patients without diabetes have no risks of hypoglycemia according to their latest studies on ckd and hf
Regarding the infections, its advised to keep it dry and clean after peeing
Gangrene was significantly less compared to placebo for farxiga ( unlike canagliflozins )
Sglt2i s are generally very tolerable
My husband takes farxiga , he has white patch in the mouth inside his cheek . Do you think , this is the side effect of Farxiga ?
i ve noticed it since i started taking it , fungo always on my penis. An other question pelase. if i ll
get circumcision , does this problem goes aways forever ?
Not fit to take. I gave it up and after a week I felt much better. The side effects were terrible
face. Word he say correct. I've been talking it for a few years.
Have you had any side effects from this medication because I've seen were you've said you've taken it for years?
I am on FARXIGA now it’s my frist day and I have a headache
Thank you so much doctor helping me. I was scared to death because of the side effect Fournier's Gangrene which is your private part dying along with a high death rate if not treated immediately. You educated me on the fact that is so extremely rare there were only 12 cases recorded. I feel safe taking Forxiga now. My doctor said the main thing that is really important is keeping your private areas very clean especially if your not circumcised.
All 3 gliflozins cause you to urinate every hour or so and that continues even after you sleep. Not to mention, it causes weakness, dizziness, constipation and blurred vision as well.
So true I started on Farxiga a month ago with excessive urination, excessive thirst and no control over my bladder so wetting myself my kidneys were working overtime can't see if that is good. I started on Farxiga because Metformin was causing diarrhoea but I've dumped Farxiga and gone back on Metformin I've yet to tell my doctor but there is no way I'll be taking Farxiga again.
Farxiga worked against my health! My vision blurred, I had arthroses pains because this medication dehydrated my arthroses and the dehydration augmented the pressure in my eyes and now I have to prevent glaucoma! It's strange to me that I had all these side effects because I was drinking a lot of water! I made a recherche and found that Farxiga creates major acidity in the body and that is a great problem for arthroses because the body tries to become more alkalic and "steal" from the bones Calcium. And as a result weakens the bones and the muscles..
I am not diabetic but my doctor prescribed this medication to treat my CKD (Iga Nephropathy). I started taking it today but I am not sure if this medication is right for my kidneys. I am concerned that it will affect my blood glucose level. It is scary!
Hi,,how are you after taking this medicine ,,cause i also ckd patients ang not diabetic but my doktor prescribe me this medicine ang i dont knw if it will be ok to me
@@nenenbayno3152 Hi, I am okay, thank you. No side effects but I have glucose in my urine now. I will know for sure in a couple of months if this medication is for me on my next hospital appointment with my nephrologist. All the best!
Same here i take this because of stage 3 CKD i take 10 mg due to a really rare kidney disease and I'm also scared to take it because i don't have diabetes either. Do any of you have any problems or side effects ? Thank you on advance and hope you're both doing well.
@Angels Butterflies hi could you share your progress with dapagliflozin? I have ckd stage 3b. And i am scared to start this medication? Please help me out
Same here, IGA NEPHROPATHY stage 3B. I’m taking farxiga now but I want to stop due to constipation. Side effects
Please where do you live!!
Did anyone experience memory problems with tbia drug?
Yes, my husband did
Can’t remember
It cause yeast infection
Yay to side effects 😫
para Que es?? Farxiga
Para controlar la diabetes ❤️🩹
This med for decrease sugar and sodium from your kidney absorption. Good for diabetes , high blood pressure, heart condition , decrease protein urea and more. Of course there are some side effects but I am on Farxiga now on one month and my blood pressure, my sugar is good. I take metformin and Farxiga sine I have diabetes,high blood pressure and small amount of protein is leaking in my urine, but oh, this med is so expensive!!
This evil drug has hurt me bad.
I am taking last 6 month but no side effect. It seems propaganda against this medicine.
Sorry it came across that. Wasn't the intention but I can understand how you drew that conclusion. Most importantly, I'm happy you are taking it with no issues. All the best.
Great video, but sounds like a dreadful med.
Not necessarily. While there is potential for these side effects, most people hardly experience anything severe.
Sometimes I’m torn between saying what is possible, for people to be on the look out but risk “scaring” them VS assuring them all is OK and not knowing how to react when something bad occurs.
In the end, I put factual information out there and hopefully the best conclusions can be drawn. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
It is.
That's a real disease in Philadelphia.
so you have one issue and the pill causes more issues. OK. Time to quit taking this pill. Thanks.
I hear you. Bear in mind that side effects are generally the exception and most tend to be rare. Will be worth discussing your concerns with your doctor. Wish you the best.
@@HealthRX I did. I had one really bad side effect and figured out it was this drug causing it so she told me to quit taking it. I appreciate your video tho. :)
@@tslilbearshoppe9870 Farxiga is another nasty medication that causes more problems than having any benefits from taking this "Medication."
@@tslilbearshoppe9870 What side effects did you have if you don't mind me asking? I'm actually scared to take this and i just recently started taking this for my kidneys. Thanks. Hope you're better.
1. Sugar too low
2. Dehydration
3. Vaginal yeast infections
4. Infection of the penis
5. Urinary tract infections
6. Ketoacidosis
7. Fournier's syndrome - dead tissue around the anus.
Very helpful video
Glad you found it helpful. I appreciate you watching. All the best.
