Have Diabetes 2 taking Jardiance for kidney

I am an 84 year old male with diabetes 2 - and have recently been looked at by a Nephrologist for my kidney functions . He has given me Jardiance to take 10 mg a day - to help protect the kidneys and flush out sugar through my urine therefore peeing more often. I am on my 10th day and notice peeing more and sometimes an odour with it. So far i have no side effects. Does anyway have this same routine or can tell me more about Jardiance as apparently it can be a life long medication. Thanks Frank
