User Reviews for Jardiance oral

I am male 60+years old with type 2 that has so far been held in check with insulin. I started Jardiance 3 months ago. Tried the lesser dose with little or no results. For the last month I have been on the 25 with much better results. At first I was rather disappointed in the results but the I did figure out the sugar substitute was using had a major impact on Jardiance. To clarify it was not the sugar substitute but the filler to make it measure like sugar. After I stopped using this filler enriched substitutes I was made a believer. My A1C is now 6.1 and I have actually lost 8 lbs.Read More Read Less

Jardiance caused urinary infections. Five in three months. Then my prostate became enlarged, three times larger. Then I read a study that said everyone over 60 developed an enlarged prostate. This medication should be taken off the market!

I was taking Januvia and Metformin and glimperide and A12 was 7.8. Dr told me to take Jardiance 25 mg and stop Januvia. Yikes! My blood glucose went through the roof. It hit 250 and I don’t think it ever was that high. They have me on diuretic with Lisinopril but say to drink lots of water as Jardiance causes dehydration. Felt weak and out of breath. How will this Lowe A1C if blood sugar is so high. I’m hungry all the time too. Jardiance is clever ads and is garbage. By the way I am NOT overweight either. Am stopping bad expensive drug.Read More Read Less

HbA1c did go down; was up! Got Urinary tract infection that took more than 2 months to clear. Back on just metformin HbA1c is lower (may be due to stricter diet regimen following Jardiance discontinuation).

This med hit me like a freight train! About 5 hours after taking it I was experiencing, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and later diarrhea. I called the doctor and was told not to take the second dose. It's now 24 hours and I am feeling washed out.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes recently. I am 25 years old morbidly obese woman, I weighed 139kgs (306.44lbs). I was prescribed with jardiance, my provider gave all the heads up. I must drink a lot of water since you will urinate sugar, must clean the private area with water not just tissue, avoid sugar at all cost! I limit my sugar intake at 26g a day or lower. It's very difficult at first but you will get use to it. I weighed in on my 5th day of taking it and I lost 4.5kg (that's almost 10lbs!) Just follow the precautions in taking this medicine with diet and it will work! It will help you to lose weight too!Read More Read Less

Ended up in the ER, I thought i was having a heart attack. As it turns out, I was dehydrated. Jardiance sucks all the liquid of you, I drink approx one gallon of water day. Stopped taking it and feel 100% better.

On the Metformin for 5 yrs and one day it eventually started creeping up my fasting to 12.0 . Jardiance after 2 10mg pills ?? I'm back down at 6.2 . Very satisfied .

A minor increase in my A1c, resulted in trying Jardiance. I experienced every side effect, after 42 days. I have suffered. I have been diagnosed with 2 additional conditions, as a direct result of taking Jardiance and am on insulin now, and was not before. This drug should be carefully considered by all.

Only started on Jardiamet 1 x 5mg/1000 a week ago. I am very sensitive to high doses of metforman, upset stomach and other side effects. I had My sugars under control for many years but all of a sudden they spiked quite dramatically. My doctor put me on the lowest dose and I am pleased to say that my blood sugars have come down. They were up as high as 14. My first test after taking it for 2 days was 7.4 the this afternoon it was 6.2 after lunch. I go to the toilet often but I also drink lots of water. So far so good. For those who have had problems try a smaller dose. It worked for me Read More Read Less

Used two days, immediately experienced excessive thirst followed by urinary problems of increased frequency, weakened urine flow and dribbling, pain during urination, low blood sugar, profuse sweating, one week later urinary symptoms are persisting, no infection detected, doctor said it could be weeks before things return to normal. Side effects could have been much worst (death) but, some people have are ok with it. Way to high incidence of bad reactions.

I am only 2 weeks in with 10mg of Jardiance. I had been diagnosed almost 20 years ago in my 40s and have been taking Metformin from the start along with Januvia added 5 years ago when my A1C went up to 7.6. Jardiance was added when my A1C got to 7.8. The first week was difficult, I had nausea and a rash on my arms. I found that 3 tumeric-ginger chewies or turmeric-ginger tea calm the nausea. I don't have a new A1C to report but glucose is 20-25 points lower in the morning before food, so it looks very promising. Have also lost 1.7% of body weight due to eating less because of nausea.Read More Read Less

Used 10 mg Jardiance for almost a year with no measurable impact on my morning (fasting) nor post meal blood glucose readings. I am going to toilet more often but the readings are not encouraging to continue using it despite I am on low carbohydrate diet. This is my personnel experience.

I have been taking Jardiance for about a week and a half. It has a serious allergic reaction within my body: raised rash that feels like mosquito bites all over my body; the itching is extreme, major yeast infection, the palms of my hand and feet are red and tinder, not able to hold on to anything without major pain, stomach pain that is outragous, nausea, my skin hurts so bad and I know that I may have left out a few....had to use my Epi Pen and go to the ER. That medicine has been dumped.

After 2 weeks, uncontrollable bowel movement, dizzy, upset stomach, tired, rash, chest pain

I couldn't tolerate the side effects of Metformin (severe diahrea 5x a day) then was switched to Januvia which did nothing for me. Then switched to Glipizide which found myself getting the shakes (low blood sugar) at 2am reaching for a snicker to stabilize my sugar. Finally was switched to Jardiance within the first 6 months I suddenly got the most Severe burning, redness, hot itchy rash with swelling on my face on both of my cheeks, swelling in my right leg and pocket of swelling on my left arm! This rash was raised like hives and progresses with its characteristics following weeks of pain and discomfort. I Never experienced this rash in my 45 Years!! 2 Dermatologists, and my primary all misdiagnosed the rash as it was unexplainable! It wasn't until I did a process of elimination along with research the newest drug I was on (Jardiance) and its side effects that it made sense it was this medication with the SAME syptoms!!! First episode The rash lasted 2 months of burning, light swelling under my eye to cheekbone area, redness and pain. 2nd episode rash lasted 10 days. 3rd episode rash lasted 3 days yet comes and goes. Starts with a sudden flush of the cheek / or cheeks, then progresses to light swelling, then aggressively elevates to a reddish purplish color changes characteristics from raised hives to small blisters then smoothes out. The end result is a tightness burning feel in which I continued to moisturize. I exercise regularly and limit my intake yet my right leg and ankles still swell. Read More Read Less

I have recently started taking 10 mg of Jardiance but had previously looked it up and was extremely concerned about the possible side effects. Having discussed my fears with my diabetic nurse she assured me that it is an excellent drug and said that, the only way to find out if it produced any side effects was to take it but to stop it if did. Fortunately, I took her advice and have had no side effects whatsoever so am now increasing the dose to 25mg and would recommend anyone else to take the same course as the benefits could be huge.Read More Read Less

So today is day 5 for me. 1st few days nothing but alot or urination which didn't seem unusual as I go because of high blood sugar. Today for the 1st time in I cannot remember my blood glucose was 100. Took blood glucose in am in high hundreds which normally was in high 200's. After breakfast was 120. Then my take before lunch was 80. Before dinner was again 100 after dinner was 170. Before bed was 115. I haven't seen these numbers years can't wait to see what A1c goes down too.
