Type 2 Dapagliflozin/Forxiga

[COCO26]

I have been taking the above for T2 diabetes since November 2020. It is good at managing my blood glucose. However, I have been farting ++ + at a point of embarrassment. I have ruled out everything (foods) as the cause of my dilemma.Has anyone have or aware of this problem? Ps advise. Thanks

How long have you been on the metformin?

This is what they call it in USA
https://www.farxiga.com/
And recent FDA reports that flatulence is a noted side effect not in the admitted negative side effects by the manufacturer

I wonder how it went from Foxiga (UK) to Farxiga (USA) or maybe the other way round

I just started Forxiga , hope not to get all kinds of side effects, the farting one might be embarrassing

I have always been flaulant.i admit it, but since taking Forxiga, the frequency and the SMELL! Sometimes I can't stand to be in the same room as myself! It's a good job I have my own office at work and people comment on the fact that I have lovely scented candles but I fear they may not survive otherwise!

It's not Christmas as a whole, just the sprouts

Parsnips are guilty too. Our kitten tries to cover me up when I let rip.
