My husband and I have been on Jardiance for almost three years and have not had any side effects either. We both have heart conditions on many meds. and my husband has a pacemaker. It has helped bring our A1Cs down. Good medicine.

I was on Jardiance but was allergic - yeast infections. Last year I was put on Inpefa but recently was told by my clinic and the place I got my Inpefa that my insurance wasn't going to cover it anymore. I have to go on Farxiga and the cost is high just like Jardiance was. If I'm allergic to Farxiga I'll be put back on Inpefa. (Makes you wonder who is in charge of your health - doctor or insurance company.)

SGLT2 inhibitors are medications that have shown significant benefits for people with heart disease. These drugs work by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine, which helps lower both blood sugar and blood pressure levels. This dual action can help manage cardiovascular health and reduce risks. When considering new medications for heart disease management, it's important to discuss options with a healthcare provider. They can evaluate individual risk factors and determine if SGLT2 inhibitors like dapagliflozin (Farxiga) or empagliflozin (Jardiance) might be beneficial as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. These medications can be particularly helpful for those managing multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

I had yeast infections with both farxiga and jardiance. I don't take either one.

I have a history of urological yeast infections (yes, men can get them, too.) Both Jardiance and Farxiga immediately led to severe yeast infections so I take neither.
