Hi J
thank you so much for your reply - i appreciate it fully. Glad your spouse has not had any side effects. I so far have not but only on them for 10 days so far. Peeing a lot more which is good to get the sugar out of my system. No problem we dehydration at this point and must be careful there. Wow 16 meds your spouse is on that is a lot. I am on only on 5 - BP/(2 pills) metformin - Lipitor for cholesterol and now this Jardiance. I am 84 and in pretty good health considering. I have only had one surgery in my lifetime for prostate - area in 2014 and fine every since - fingers crossed. I did for many years ( i was diagnosed with diabetes 2 - 4o years go so doing well in that area) and at the time did a lot of exercise/jogging/workouts and had personal trainer for many years and ate pretty sensibly and health which we still do and smaller portions now. I Thank you for that very nice of you take care and have a nice day.

Hi we are in Ontario Frank. I could list the meds he is on, hard to believe he is still walking around. He also has occasional alcohol and smoking. I had to devise a page showing both am and pm meds, the am meds and the pm ones and what was in my opinion critical these days and keep forgetting to mention it on Mayo - if you have a list of medications you carry around may be a good idea , as we have, ,to put down the name of the drug prescribed and also the alternate name if generic or ? It was very very confusing soothing this out and even now saw the list and realized it also has another name (such as mine was Rivotril/Clonazepam and in USA called Klonopin. Even my nurse was going to prescribe another pill from my anti diarrhea one and it was the same medication only a different name... am sure this could lead to confusion in an emergency.
