I have been prescribed Farxiga. Should I stop this drug?

Hi, 

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Farxiga is a novel diabetic medicine which decreases blood sugar by reducing the absorption of sugar from kidney.

• Since more sugar is getting excreted in the urine, blood sugar starts reducing and thus blood glucose levels start coming down. 

• Though it still needs to complete phase 4 studies, this drug is pretty much safe as of now.

• The only concern is that it may increase the risk of urinary infections and genital infections.

• But still you can go ahead as these are not very serious complications.
