Farxiga just approved

I know this was posted a few months back, but I see that now the FDA has actually approved Farxiga for CKD non diabetic. My doctor is reluctant as I'm around 27 percent function. Had anyone here tried this drug for CKD yet or know anyone who has? Thanks.

I would read up a bit on the drug, then I would grill my doctor as to why not. He may have a very good reason....or not.
