My nephrologist wants me to take Jardiance for CKD?

@cehunt57 I was told when insurance rejected my doctor's request for Farxiga, that Jardiance is an equivalent medication just as (the biosimilar) Truxima is the equivalent to Rituxan. Ozempic seems to be an other category from Farxiga and Jardiance.
Perhaps a place for side conversations could be set up for us?
Just a thought.

What a lively discussion this has become! And that's wonderful -- Connect is a place for us to engage with each other, share our experiences, and learn from one another.
Kidney disease can be such a complex condition to manage, and it sometimes occurs alongside other health conditions, making treatment complicated. And there are often other barriers to care, like insurance, cost, access to care, etc.
Some of the comments in this discussion have gotten a bit off-track from the original question about taking Jardiance for CKD, and that's okay. I find that lively conversations often branch off in different directions. To try to keep this conversation focused on on the original topic, I'd encourage new conversations be started for some of the helpful side conversations. You can start a new conversation by going to the Kidney Conditions group and clicking "Start a new discussion" just below the "search discussion" search box.
