Just started to take the medication along side metformin. Does it work for weight loss and should I be concerned regarding the side effects?
 
I’ve just come off it (due to improvements of bloods)
Drink lots of water and watch for back pain and, sorry, but thrush and UTIs

I was having some awful upper back pain, didn’t correlate with the dapa but it has reduced to pretty much gone in the weeks since stopping so possible

I also did find I was feeling increasingly dizzy when I stood up. To the point I did fall over once... luckily the banister stopped my fall well not lucky in a smacked face but lucky in that I wasn’t at top of stairs!

I found that it did cause some weight loss when I started but then actively moved to lowering carbs and exercise so whether it continued to work is not clear to me
