[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2598254, member: 196898"] Indeed it is being prescribed to treat heart failure, athersclerosis, kidney damage Alzheimers, and general demntia, It was looked at to see if it helped treat cancer, but they ended up with the opposite effect. It seems that Dapagliflozin is associated with increased risk of breast cancer, bladder cancer, and also acute kidney failure (AKI). My heart consultant wants me on it to reduce my heart failure, but then he let slip that my real problem is not my heart but the nerves that fire the contractions being damaged. He agreed that the med will do nothing to retime my heart, but will reduce blood pressure which is why he wants me to continue with it. That and the 33% reduction being claimed for heart failure patients (but my heart is not at fault) My GP wants me on it to help my failing kidney function, but my attention is drawn to the increasing risk of AKI. It is contraindicated in cases of CKD stage 3 and 4 . So all in all I am not impressed. [/QUOTE]
