My nephrologist wants me to take Jardiance for CKD?
My kidney doctor says I should try taking Jardiance for my CKD. He says patients have seen good results with it, even though Jardiance use for CKD is not recommended. It's $800 with my part D deductible, so I've declined.
Has anyone here taken Jardiance for CKD?

You may make too much money, but you might check https://www.boehringer-ingelheim.com/us/about-us/sustainable-development/our-commitment/boehringer-cares-patient-assistance-portal
"Jardiance is not recommended for the treatment of chronic kidney disease in patients with polycystic kidney disease or patients requiring or with a recent history of intravenous immunosuppressive therapy or greater than 45 mg of prednisone or equivalent for kidney disease." But it is FDA approved for chronic kidney disease otherwise. I haven't taken the medication and hope you get better responses than mine.
@gently thank you. I've been researching it and it appears it is approved for CKD in my situation. Now I'm trying to work my way through my Medicare part d coverage and see if it's going to cost an arm and a leg or if I can get away for a few fingers.
Sometimes the income limits for assistance are high. Then you just wouldn't use the medicare. i sometimes travel for medications because we do pay the highest prices of anywhere in the world. But at least we can get them, if we don't need our arms or legs.
