Does farxiga cause weight loss?

I'm taking Farxiga for my type 2 diabetes, and I've actually noticed a slight decrease in my weight since starting it. I was wondering if Farxiga is known to cause weight loss as a side effect or if it's unrelated?

Haan, isse weight loss bilkul hota hai. Yeh body se extra sugar nikalti hai toh thoda vajan kam ho jata hai na. Par yeh sugar control ke liye hai, bas weight loss ke liye isse bina doctor ke mat lena.

Yes, Farxiga actually does cause moderate weight loss for most people. My mom is on it and she shed about 3-4 kgs in a few months because the body gets rid of excess glucose. Just make sure to stay super hydrated.

I read that it can cause weight loss because of how it filters out sugar through the kidneys. I got a bit anxious thinking if that is safe for the body long-term, but doctors say it is a normal way the medicine works. Hope you are keeping well!

I have been using Farxiga for my diabetes for two years now. Yes, I lost about five kilos in the beginning, and my sugar levels also became much more stable. At our age, this extra weight loss actually helps relieve pressure on the knees.

Haan na, Farxiga se thoda weight loss toh hota hi hai because of the sugar flushing out. It is actually a beneficial side effect for many diabetic patients, but always take it exactly as your doctor advised.

It does help in reducing excess weight gently as your body heals. Just keep a positive mindset, drink pure water, and trust your doctor's care for your wellbeing.

Yes, it is known to reduce weight by cleaning out the system. Along with this modern medicine, you can drink a glass of warm barley water to support your kidneys, but never stop your doctor's prescribed treatment.

I tried so many herbal powders and lifestyle changes to manage my sugar and weight before my doctor prescribed Farxiga. The medicine definitely helped me lose a few stubborn kilograms. But remember to maintain good hygiene to avoid any urinary track issues.
