"I attempted 2 trial runs of Farxiga. Within two days of taking it, I had severe pain in my groin area that caused me to limp, and difficulty getting up and down out of the chair. My kidneys felt like they were on fire with the pain. My blood glucose levels went up and I had severe muscle cramping, constipation, weight gain, headaches, dry mouth, nausea, stomach cramps, severe pitting, and edema from my ankles up to my knees. I continued taking it for about 10 days. When I stopped taking it within 24 hours the pain in my groin area stopped and by 48 hours my muscle cramps had stopped. My physician recommended I stop taking it for two weeks and then restart it. I followed the instructions and all the above symptoms came back again. I stopped taking it and again most of my symptoms subsided. However, I still have constipation issues, fatigue, and some swelling in my legs."

"I have been taking Farxiga for a little over a year. From day one I was having severe breathing, issues and shortness of breath, severe back and muscle pain, and cramps and also felt like my kidney area and low middle back are on fire. I talked to my heart doctor and we are reviewing alternative medications."

"In October 2020 an ICD wire had failed as my heart failure advanced. I felt terrible - to say the least. Every meal was miserable for me as the shortness of breath became intolerable. I thought the end was around the corner. Long story short, FARXIGA was and is the last thing they could do for me short of a LV PUMP. FARXIGA was a little rough around the edges for a couple weeks, these days, I'm doing very well. Perhaps, I'll take it easy a couple days a week, other than that, I take care of myself and every chore and travel. Ask your cardiologist to give you chance with it..... Incidentally, I was not a candidate for Entresto (angio edema caused by lisinopril, I was happy with lisinopril for 5yrs)"

"Farxiga has been a Godsend for me. I developed CHF with an ejection fraction of 30% after a heart attack. my doctor had tried me on entresto first, but it caused extreme dizziness/fatigue. We decided to try farxiga and it has made a huge difference for me. I'm able to carry groceries again and can sing without fighting for breath among many little things I can do again all thanks to Farxiga"

"My doctor put me back on after they took my melano pump off. I had the worst side effects just after 5 days of use. Dizzy/lightheaded, laziness, weakness, terrible headache, go to bed at 9 wake up at 11:30+ the next day fast heart beat, deep sweat at night and a few others. This medicine is not for me ."
