Farxiga Reviews

Updated

My Doctor is recommending Farxiga along with Metformin to lower my A1C. I'm a little afraid to try it. Has anyone taken it?

Hello, Nancy! How are you?

Exactly why are you afraid to try it? If you can post back and be specific about what side effects or risks concern you, I'll be glad to find information on them for you and help you. :-)

The normal side effects can include nausea, sore throat, back pain and flu like symptoms.

I have an A1C of 7.7 - it was as low as 6.3 when I first went on Metformin. I take 3 a day - tried a 4th one but made me little queasy. So she suggested the Farxiga and when I said yes to it I thought she was switching me not adding another med. Anyway I went home to research it and the bladder cancer bothers me, along with the major complaints about the yeast infections. That is why I'm leery of it. Along with it being such a new med. Have you any info on these issues. Oh and hair falling out....Lord just what I need at age 63.

Thank you.

I find that my short term memory is shot after being on Farxiga for ~ 6 months. To the point of being frightening. I am going to stop taking it and get to the Dr. ASAP

2 months on it. Yes memory is short, urine very cloudy and smells horrible. They check urine. It is high in sugar, but daily evaluations are good. Cold sweats, painful urination, yeast infection, bladder and kidney infection, muscle aches. Waiting on blood work to make sure it didn't mess up kidneys or bladder. I stopped taking it.

How do I apply for a year of free farxiga? I can't afford it.

Can Farxiga pills be cut in half? Initially, I was on 10mg and the Dr. decreased it to 5mg. If possible I would like to cut the remaining 10mgs in half and take that accordingly.

I’ve had an almost continuous headache since beginning Farxiga. Has anyone else experienced this?
