Jardiance Reviews
(Newest replies first)

Well, I have been on Jardiance for 4 months now. I have lost 42 pounds. I have reduced meds. But I have to say, I am peeing every hour, and am fairly incontinent. I also have a funny ashy taste in my mouth. Is there anybody else out there on this stuff?

I've been having loose stools (diarrhea) ever since I started Jardiance. I was on 10mg for 4 weeks, now 25mg and it seems to have gotten worse. Haven’t noticed but a little more urination since I started though. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Re: Suddently (# 6)

I took Jardiance for 2 months until yesterday. I literally pee'd constantly. If I was in bed and moved I would get the urgent need to pee. I have an issue with urinary incontinence and it was like on overdrive on Jardiance. I was also having gastric issues with metformin even after 6 months. I'm am off both now. My urinary issue has stopped totally.

I’m on my 3rd week of Jardiance 10mg. In addition to Metformin and PIOGLITAZONE for the last 10 months. In May of 2020, my A1C went up to a 10.7 and morning fasting glucose was at 255, everything was bad with my diabetes.

I’ve been struggling for 10 months to get my fasting glucose and weight down, nothing was working. I eat well, limited sugar and carbs, no soda, no juice or fruit, hard cardio exercise daily for about 90 minutes, nothing worked, so we added Jardiance. In just 3 weeks, I’m down 10 lbs and my fasting glucose went from 160 to 140.

HOWEVER...my frequent urination is surreal! I can go every 15-60 minutes. Early mornings thru noon-ish are the worst. Even before my morning 1 cup of coffee and decaf dandelion tea. Any citrus will set me off. Walks or bike rides result in several pit stops along the way, which isn’t easy.

Is this a temporary situation? I understand the purpose is it’s flushing my liver of unneeded sugars, but I need sleep. This is the only bonus to not working for almost 450 days due to Covid. But when I do get back to work, I have no idea how I’ll cope.

Can a prickly heat type rash come from Jardiance (empagliflozin)? I get it only on and below my breasts and in my groin area. It starts out looking like a severe sunburn, bright red, then develops small pimples. It does not itch.

Since taking jardiance, I have had genital pain and an itch which I have never experienced in my life. How long does it take to get out of your body?

Does anyone that takes Jardiance have depression with it as well? I started Jardiance in November and have had depression at the same time. I recently stopped Jardiance and I’m better. Is there anyone else with this experience?

Hi, is it safe to cut jardiance 25 mg pills in half? My doc wants me to go down to 10 mg and I have several packs of 25 mg.

Thanks in advance.

You can fill a prescription for it at Northwest Pharmacy in Canada for $113 for 28 days. Call them and they will walk you thru what to do.

I started on Jardiance 5 days ago and now I'm feeling sick. Can anyone tell me how long before this feeling will subside? My vision also seems a little blurred. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how long does it last?

I started using Jardiance 25mg about a year ago. I have lost about 11 to 12 kilos of weight since them. My sugars seem to be in control but I have the following side effects

1. Dizziness when I suddenly try to stand up straight when I have been lying down or bending
2. My BP readings used to be 120/80 consistently. I am on olmecip 40. But after Jardiance it started to go to 130/60 sometimes 150/70 it started varying
3. I sometimes have hazy vision
4. About 3 months ago I started having severe vaginal itching and rashes

I informed my doc and she says vaginal itching is a common side effect. Why wasn't I told if this before? I have stopped Jardiance since 4 days. My doc is aware of this. Please advise. Will there be long term side effects of having taken jardiance?

I'm on Jardiance 10 mg also. Got a bladder infection. Have constant thirst. Never get headaches, started getting dull headaches. Got a kidney infection.....Got medication for it.....Kidneys still hurt. Now I'm dizzy most of the time. Looked up side effects: Headaches, dizziness, weight decreases, fungal infections, diabetic ketoacidosis, vomiting, urinary tract infections, rashes, pollakiuria, thirst, volvovaginal mycatic infection, urticaria, AND MORE. Oh, and by the may.....did you know that doctors and pharmacies get paid for prescribing medication and filling prescriptions from the manufacturer? Interesting, huh!

Rebecca I am sorry to hear that you are having troubles with the Jardiance, you did not mention the amount of mg's you are on though so maybe a decrease would help alleviate some of the side effects. I have been on the Jardiance for about the same amount of time and I have been lucky in that the side effects I have experienced is just the loss of 45 lbs. I have been getting ready for the metabolic surgery by drinking protein shakes or eating Quest bars for two of my meals a day, and eat a paleo diet for dinner. So not a lot of carbs or sugars. Hope this helps, and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck.

Should be taken in the morning as its effects peak during the day when you are eating, as opposed to at night when a drop in blood sugar would go unnoticed.

I have been taking Jardiance for 3 months. No side effect, lost 5kg (11lb). I didn't have that much weight to lose. My blood sugar is way down. Yes, I drink and pee frequently, but that is just getting old.
