My husband takes Farxiga, which is basically the same thing. He has been on it since last fall. He has stage3 CKD and diabetes. The Farxiga has really helped with his diabetes. He is more stable and was able to cut back on his insulin. His CKD is basically the same. No side effects.

Did you checked this website:drugs.com/medical-answers/f...

I think it is a trustable drugs benefits/side effects source.

Nevertheless we should always consult our GP before using any medication

Hi, forxiga, farxiga and dapagliflozin are the same drug, I was put on to it by my nephrologist in November and it’s steadied the decline in my eGFR and creatinine increase. A friend of mine is also on it and the only side effect he’s had is thrush so he has something for that as he finds it helps him greatly.
