Jardiance for congestive heart failure: pros and cons?
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: Dec 28, 2025 | Replies (39)Comment receiving replies
Both my cardiologist and my nephrologist have recommended Jardiance. I do have kidney failure, and I also have diastolic heart failure. I have not yet taken it because of the cost and because of the side effects. It is helpful for me to read others here who have taken Jardiance and it has helped their conditions. Because I have a Part D Medicare drug plan, I am unfortunately not able to get any discount cards for Jardiance. Also - my Xarelto has tripled in price - again no discount programs are available to me. I just may have to "bite the bullet" since I need these drugs. A relative gets her Eliquis from Canada; I may go that route.

Jardiance has helped me (I think). I have HFpEF and Congestive Heart Failure II/C. Jardiance caused me to lose weight really fast (and maybe too much). I was a little bit overweight but I had a lot of muscles and am broad shouldered. It caused me to lose weight every day all the way to my lowest dry weight but I also lost all my muscles and strength. Jardiance also did not lower my diastolic blood pressure. It took a low dose of a beta blocker(metoprolol) to do that.

So sad that these drugs, that so many of us need, are so costly! I did qualify for help with the Jardiance. but need to reapply each January. A friend of mine is getting her meds from Canada also, but I have been reluctant with my complex heart history. I'm hoping everything goes well for you.
