I have been taking Farxiga for 9 months. Do I need to step down or can I just stop taking it?
I want to stop taking Farxiga because I believe I might have an allergic reaction to it?

"If you're taking Farxiga to lower certain risks caused by heart failure or kidney disease, stopping it may lead to your condition worsening. It can also increase your risk of hospitalization or death. But it shouldn't cause withdrawal effects. Do not stop taking Farxiga without first speaking with your doctor."
