Q. Is Dapagliflozin safe to use?
Yes, Dapagliflozin is safe when used as directed by the doctor. However, it may show some side effects. For best results, it should be used in the correct dose and at the same time each day.
Q. Can I stop taking Dapagliflozin?
No, do not stop taking Dapagliflozin without talking to your doctor first. Sudden discontinuation of medicine may make your diabetes worse. Inform your doctor if your symptoms bother you or if there is no considerable improvement in your condition. The doctor may suggest some other medicine which could be more effective in treating your diabetes.
Q. Why did my doctor prescribe Dapagliflozin along with metformin?
For some people, taking metformin alone can effectively lower blood sugar levels. But, evidence suggests that adding Dapagliflozin to metformin therapy may provide better control over the increased blood sugar levels in some people. So, maybe your doctor prescribed the combined use of metformin with Dapagliflozin to provide the extra help you need.
Q. Who should not take Dapagliflozin?
Patients allergic to Dapagliflozin should avoid using this medicine. Also, it is highly recommended that patients who are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems should not use Dapagliflozin.
Q. Can I take Dapagliflozin before surgery?
Inform your doctor that you are taking Dapagliflozin before going for the surgery. The doctor may ask you to stop taking your Dapagliflozin tablets before your operation. This is done because there is a risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may develop if high blood sugar is not treated).

Linagliptin
