Dapa is the common name I know for it

Hi SLK. I tipped over into type 2 diabetes in the spring, and because my GP hadn't done anything about it, my cardiologist told my GP to put me on Dapagliflozin. Unfortunately, within 2 or 3 days of starting them I got the most appalling back pain (a recognised side effect), and had to stop taking them after 14 days. My GP was talking about trying one of the others (Canagliflozin, I think), but because I'm trying changing other drugs at the same time, I haven't got round to any other T2D medication yet.

Hi Alison...thank you for your reply. I have read the common side effects and I'm getting a little concerned. I'm waiting my first prescription will let the group know how I get on...fingers crossed..take care 😊

I know there are a number of people on here that have had no side effects on Dapa... they just haven't seen your post

[SLK-14 in reply to Alison_L]

I will keep a look out for more replies 😊

Hi, my husband has been on dapagliflozin for worsening HF symptoms for just under a month now. He's usually quite reactivate to meds but he's had absolutely no side effects at all at & its really done wonders for his energy levels & symptoms. He recently said he hadn't realised just how slow he'd got until he felt better, if that makes sense. I hope it works for you 🤞

Hi Lezzers...thank you for your reply....was diagnosed with HF earlier in this year, have responded well to the medications I'm on at the moment but Cardiac Consultant seems to think I might benefit from Dapa..🤞..😊

Have you heard of the pumping marvellous foundation charity for heart failure? There's lots of info on their website about HF, meds, current research etc. They also have a closed Facebook group that is great for support & advice from lots of really lovely people, a number of them are also taking this med so they may be able to help you as well.
