⚠️ Warnings
• Dapagliflozin may cause serious kidney problems, therefore monitor kidney functions while taking the drug.
• • Consult the doctor before having any surgery, even a dental surgery, while taking medicine.
• • Get up slowly from the lying position; dapagliflozin may cause low blood pressure resulting in dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting.
• • Dapagliflozin interacts with the urine glucose test. A urine glucose test is often carried out to measure the quantity of glucose present in the urine sample of diabetes patients. The urine may test positive for glucose if the patient is taking dapagliflozin even if glucose is absent. Therefore, alternative methods have to be followed to test sugar levels in patients taking dapagliflozin.
