User Reviews for Farxiga oral

The yeast infection started the 2nd day. my sugar began staying high for hours after i ate, did nothing for me except to make me unable to pee much and heartbeat was rapid, and I had to fast for hours for my sugar to come down, I guess it did opposite for me than what it was suppose to.

I have been on Farxiga now over a year. My HBA1C went from 9.3 to 7.0 so far. Everytime I get checked it lowers. I have had no side effects.

Ive been on it 10 mg for over a year have had yeast infections often. I have since become so infected that I bleed and cant use toilet paper tried all hurt so bad.Ive been fighting this for months straight finnaly stoped farxiga today and pray my female parts go back to normal its been hell.I went on web site and resherched and saw this is a side affect so called my doctor.It id help my a1c but cant take this anymore.

No problems at all a1c went from 6.7 to 5.4. Lost 13 pounds so far. Feel great.

On Farxiga for 11 months. Lost 30 pounds without dieting and exercise, but had to buy smaller clothes. Remains to be seen if A1C is coming down specifically due to the drug.

This drug almost killed me. I took it for about 2 months. At first, the side effects were excessive urination with burning, and severe thirst. Then came the excruciating headaches, dizziness, and fast heart rate. By the end of the second month, I had continued all the side effects, but then had arrhythmia which caused 3 fainting spells. My heart was pounding out of my chest. Went to a cardiologist who determined after extensive testing including stress test, PET scan and Holter monitoring that the cause of my heart issues was Farxiga. After stopping this drug, everything went back to normal. It took a full 3 months for the drug to get out of my system. Read More Read Less

Have been on this drug for more than 6 months. Lowered A1C a point or so. I am so unhappy though. I constantly feel a burn when I urinate, once a month or every 6 weeks-the longest I have gone without-I get a yeast infection that involves pain and burning first and than itching--one like I have never had before. Oral yeast pills do nothing, have to stop the Farxiga to make it go away and usually 2 rounds of over the counter creams. I have tightened up on my eating watching sugars closely and still get these infections. I also started to feel very tired, and had some abdominal cramping making me think maybe a urinary tract infection but none present. Thirst is unbelievable, I drink and drink. Wake at night with such a dry mouth can hardly swallow. Dry skin starting to become a problem. I quit taking for about a month and felt better--started taking and within a week burning started again, thirst and dry mouth started shortly after. I don't know what else I can do--tried adding probiotics didn't matter. It did also seem to help my b/p go down but I don't feel its worth it. Tired of the burning and infections and having to worry about them. Did it work--yes it seemed to make a difference but its not worth it to me with the other problems. Read More Read Less

After taking this for 3 months my A1C is still 8. I do have some vulvar irritation but baby wipes help. I'm also experiencing some lower left back pain. Blood work shows no kidney problem but I wonder if this pain is due to farxiga. May ask doctor if I should keep taking it since my A1C hasn't improved.

I experienced volvavaginitis with spongiotic dermatitis with prominent pigmentation incontinence. I had to endure a biopsy and feared a vulvaectomy as a result of using farxiga for 2 months. Dr said it may all have to be cut off!

So far everything has been great i have lost 60 lbs and have dropped my A1C 1.4 pts in six months other than going to the bathroom alot if i eat too much sugar i have no complaints

I was only on this drug for about 10 days. I could barely walk and when I did I felt dizzy, sick to my stomach. Was not on it long enough to evaluate effectiveness.

Initial results have been good lowering my glucose levels and A1C. Taking it for five months, I did develop and still have blisters on my penis have been applying medication to reduce itching and redness. Over the past couple of months have had bouts of hives and will soon begin tests to determine source of these but don't expect anything to come from this. After discussing with doctor today I will be discontinuing farxiga and resorting only to Metformin until hives can be diagnosed.

Have been taking for about 2 months. Extreme thirst so that I can't go anywhere without a water bottle. No weight loss. Cost is through the roof and cannot afford. Cannot get for free as I am retired and on medicare. Cost is $348. Not happening. Biggest problem is rapid heartbeat and profuse sweating (something have never had a problem with). Will discontinue tomorrow and see doctor next week. Never been so uncomfortable. And the kicker is my waking blood sugar is 130-140. A1C stays about 7-8. Just not happy with this medication.

I tried this drug and had a pounding heart that I could feel and my heart rate was very fast. I was very thirsty a lot and nothing I drank helped get rid of the thirst. I just felt terrible taking this drug and I took it less than a week.

No side effects, 10 pound weight loss since I began taking. So far so good! Seems like the more sugar I take in the more often the bathroom visits. But other than that, no complaints. And it's free for a year.

Great Medication got my sugar down to 120 fasting from 200.Got my a1c down from 9.0 to 7.4.This is the BEST NEWS EVER LOST GET THIS 18 LBS from talking this medication WITHOUT DIET OR EXERCISE YES !!!!!!!

Extreme thrist up to 24 oz per hour of water needed, extreme perspiration to the point of needing to change clothing 2-3 a day, back pain equal to menstrual cramping, did little to low glucose may have dropped it 5-10 points on monitor blood sugars.

I have been using Farxiga for about 6 months or so. I can really tell a difference if I forget to take it. It really helps my blood sugar. I definitely have to drink more water because it makes me dehydrated. I lost about 10 pounds at first but about a total of 15 lbs. O really do love what this med does for me!
