Have Diabetes 2 taking Jardiance for kidney

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.

Hi lacy
Thanks for your follow up- i feel like crap tonight dont know if it is the Jardiance meds as i am on it now 10 days and it is making me pee often although sometimes it is not alot of urine coming out of me. I drink water - tea - no juices with sugars - only 1/2 cup coffee a day - drink water with lemon juice for the dehydration aspect. I will go to the pharmacy in the morning since it is a Sunday and will chat with the parmacist about it. I hate taking new meds - and as you may remember taking 2 - 500 ml of metform as well. Today my stomach us upset gas and bloating. Not sure if that is a side effect i could not find it on google at all. I did get second opinion with my own Dr. before i ordered the Jardiance and he said it is the best and newest to help with kidney protection and to take sugar out of my system. Where are you in ONtario - we are in Toronto. I have not smoked for 45 years now - and i dont drink - possibly a beer every two or three months or less. I do have all the meds i take 5 in all in my wallet if asked at anytime.. good idea to do that just in case.. Yes Americans are quite different in names of meds and it gets very confusing for sure - we always have to look these things up. But i was shocked by the cost of purchasing Jardiance in the USA when we dont pay for it here at all. We wont visit the USA anymore we have not been there since just before covid when we wintered in Palm springs 2019 that is it over and out. Not a good place anymore for us. I am sorry about your husband and hope he helps himself as we must do that for ourselves as well.
