I’ve taken it for just over 18 months. No problems at all and it has helped improve my EF from 39% to 56%.

been on Dapagliflozin for just over a year now. Had my annual echocardiogram a week ago so eagerly awaiting the results to see if my ejection fraction has improved. No side effects that I can tell.

Hello...I've been taking Dapagliflozin for 12months now with no side effects. My EF has gone from 35 to 41. Awaiting annual Echocardiogram...fingers crossed. Take care 🙂

I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy 4 months ago (EF 16%). I'm on Dapagliflozin and several other medications since. I have no issues with Dapagliflozin at all. I also read some studies about it that sounded promising. My EF is now at 37%.

I have been taking Dapagliflozin for around 2 years now as well as the usual cocktail of drugs since my HA in 2010 and to be perfectly honest its the best I have felt since then, I have not had to use my GTN more than a couple of times since started on it by my Cardiologist. I am also borderline Type 2 diabetic and dapagliflozin has also helped with that. It only has one slight drawback that it is diuretic and removed excess sugar via your pee which makes you pee more and makes your pee frothy and makes you more prone to thrush.

I've been on it for a year and again borderline type 2, as said you get frothy pee and in my case on and off UTI's but that may be because i'm on a cocktail of other stuff.

Not what you're looking for?
