Canagliflozin

Hi, has anyone taken canagliflozin?
Nurse started me on it, however I'm horrified by the potential side effects.
I know all medication has risks but these seem severe.
Be nice to know if anyone else has taken it and what their experience was
Thanks
 
Yes I am on it. The worst effects I have had are asociated with my nether end. extreme flatulence, constipation, and sore btm. I am keeping an eye on it so to speak, since this may be the route to Fourniers gangrene.

Does not seem to do much for my sugar levels though. Test strips show glucose in urine, which is unusal for me so it must be doing something, but I think I got better sugar levels from Metformin, which this drug replaces.

I had an earlier brush with this drug, which quickly gave me horrendous UTI infection that eventually required a heavy duty antibiotic to shift. The antibiotic had a longer list of side effects equally worrying.
