Farxiga and Scheduled Angiogram w/stents

I have an angiogram with stents scheduled for Dec. 12th. I need to come off Farxiga for a couple of days before the procedure. Farxiga has done wonders to stabilize my egfr. I'm currently at 28 with Farxiga. I'm concerned coming off Farxiga for even a couple of days will drop my egfr further. What experience has others had in this situation? What has been the experience of those with comparable egfr with an angiogram. Thanks in advance.

It stays in your body for a couple of days and then they will start you right back up. Should have no impact.
