Three Major Side Effects of Farxiga

Farxiga, brand name of the drug dapagliflozin is prescribed to lower the blood sugar levels in adults. It is used to treat the type 2 diabetes and is never used for type-1 diabetes. It is an oral medication which works by assisting the kidneys in absorbing more glucose from the body.


There are some serious side effects linked with the medication. Here’s a list of the most common farxiga side effects:

•    Diabetic ketoacidosis

It is by far the most concerning side effects of farxiga. The FDA issued a safety warning highlighting any SGLT2 medication that can cause life threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis. It happens because the body breakdowns the fat releasing high level of ketones being unable to use the glucose for energy. The blood becomes acidic because of this.

 Early signs of side effects that caused ketoacidosis include fruity breath, nausea, fatigue, difficulty in breathing, flushed skin, abdominal pain, vomiting and confusion. Certain conditions can increase the risk of ketoacidosis such as irregular dietary habits. Ketoacidosis, if not treated timely can even lead to comatose.

•    Kidney problems

Studies and research for Farxiga revealed how renal problems are one of the most severe side effects of the drug. Reports saw an increase in the rate of kidney issues specially when the patients reduce the amount of drinking water or eating. The kidney complications can also result when there is significant loss of liquids through vomiting, dehydration, excessive heat exposure, or diarrhea.

•    Urinary tract infections (UTI)

There have been plenty of reports which complained about the potential chance of UTI by patients after taking Farxiga. Tell the physician if there is any sign of UTI, which is mostly like the burning sensation while passing urine. Excessive frequencies in urination, pain in the lower part of abdomen, nausea, blood in the urine, or vomiting are some definite signs suggestive of severe UTI. The signs should not be ignored patients must ask for medical help immediately.
