Prescribed Farxiga for CKD with type 2 diabetes: Frightened
Diabetes & Endocrine System | Last Active: Jun 24 2:28pm | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
I was prescribed Farxiga in February, as I have protein leaking into my urine. My eGFR was 49 in February; now, in June, it's 39. Farxiga states that a small drop in eGFR isn't uncommon, but is a 10% drop considered "small"? I already have CKD and Type 2 diabetes. Treatment for the diabetes consists of Mounjaro 12.5 weekly and 1500 mg of Metformin daily. Any insight I greatly appreciate.

@deloachj1 That is a 10 point, but 20% drop. Since adverse effects from Farxiga are more common for Type 2 diabetics you should bring this up with your doctor to make sure everything is okay. Also make sure you are well hydrated since that is a common problem. Besides the use for CKD Farxiga should lower blood sugar since it allows glucose and sodium to past into the urine.
