Dear AliDerees

Yes I am on dapagliflozin as well and have been on it now for about five weeks.

The only sides that I had was a little dizzy to start with and now that is gone other than that….nothing.

Hope that it does its work for you with no side effects, for it is a good drug to be offered and put on so my Heart nurse tells me.

Take care

I was put on dapagliflozin last Christmas when I had my cardiology appointment and also amalopidine from GP on top of the usual cocktail of heart drugs. To be perfectly honest i feel better now than I have for a few years, even the slight angina when Dog walking after a large meal has disappeared. The only thing I have noticed is I seem to pee twice as much as before and the volume seems greater. A full nights sleep without waking for a pee is a distant memory, but that also could be advancing years!

I’m on Dapagliflozin - it’s a drug used for diabetes- helps reduce sugar levels in the blood by excreting it in the urine so UTR’s can be a risk- I’ve had no problems with it and have been on it now over a year
