Does Forxiga cause back pain?

Did someone's back hurt after forxiga 10g? I chose one package and got strange back pain, I stopped because I was afraid that I could damage my kidneys because of the sugar that is excreted in the urine. I was at the diabetologist today and she says it's a coincidence. That the kidneys and back do not hurt from this drug and I have to do a second attempt, because I generally feel good after it. Has anyone had similar symptoms? I don't know what to do.

As the diabetologist explained, potential kidney problems do not manifest themselves in back pain. It is worth considering whether you do not lead a very active lifestyle, work a lot at the computer or phone and do not do exercises strengthening the back and neck and stretching - it is worth taking care of it if you suffer from back pain, and there was no injury, accident. In addition, such exercises will positively affect the sensitivity of tissues to insulin and help maintain normal glucose levels (sugar levels). As for the kidneys, the drug is safe even in patients who suffer from chronic kidney disease and is now believed to have a nephroprotective effect (protects the kidneys). Although this is very rare, back pain is mentioned as a possible side effect of the drug you are asking about. Back pain was reported in ≥ 2% of patients taking dapagliflozin 10 mg and ≥ 1% more often and at least 3 volunteers more than placebo. This does not mean, however, that it is associated with kidney damage and not every patient has to be caused by the drug used. I leave a link to the text related to the topic: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/edukacja-diabetologiczna-pacjenci-pytaja-farmaceutow-o-cukrzyce Of course, no matter what may have caused the back pain - you can report this symptom as a possible side effect of the drug. How and why you should report side effects is explained here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane

I have the same thing, I have back pain and it's not at all like lower back pain that I've had before. I saw on the leaflet that back pain is one of the side effects of the drug... I hope it won't do anything to my kidneys

Hello, I have also been in pain since I take them. For me, the pain is under the chest pulling back to the shoulder blade. When getting up, looking at lying down and everyday movements.
Family doctor said since I stopped it was correct. Diabetologist I should continue to take them. Was in the emergency room yesterday. No inflammation levels or anything. ECG was unremarkable. I've now gotten ibuprofen with. Doesn't really bring anything, just relief a little.

Hello, my husband experienced the same, literally sleep at night could not, for several days from bed almost did not get up. On the FB group of Diabetics, one gentleman also had such pain. I stopped the drug, after 5 days the pain began to slowly subside, but my husband still hurts and the fitness has not returned.

Yes, I had terrible back pain after starting Forxiga treatment. I didn't sleep at night. The doctor said it wasn't from the drug. After 4 months my nails began to peel off, they made blisters with serum on my hands, rashes and foot. Of course, the doctor said that it was not from the drug .3-times I stopped the drug hands began to heal, I started the same thing again. After 1.5 years, it turned into psoriasis. Pain and not being able to do anything. Only the son found an article on the English-language site, conducted clinical trials of Forxigi and she causes such side effects rashes and blisters and psoriasis. In Poland you will not find such information. DO NOT BELIEVE THE DOCTORS,/of course not all/,. But drugs are a billion-dollar business. They have people's health somewhere. If you see something disturbing that was not there before, put away the chemistry that faszerują.PS us. My hands are damaged.
