To @Karolina: Yes, they will disappear after discontinuation of the drug. However, they can persist for up to several weeks after the end of therapy.
Hello, do the above side effects regarding creatinine and urea disappear after discontinuation of forxigi?

Yes, it is possible that Forxiga has affected the results of laboratory tests for creatinine and urea. Side effects such as increased levels of urea and creatinine (mainly at the start of treatment) have been reported uncommonly, affecting up to 1 in 100 people taking Forxiga. In one study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and moderate renal impairment, more patients treated with dapagliflozin (the active substance Forxigi) had an adverse reaction such as increased creatinine.
I attach materials that may be useful and information about the possibility of reporting adverse reactions:
