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

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.
