Will farxiga help with weight loss?

My doctor prescribed Farxiga for my diabetes, and my friend mentioned that some medicines can cause weight loss as a side effect. I'm hoping this one helps with that too. Does anyone know if Farxiga is known for helping with weight loss?

My uncle takes Farxiga for his diabetes, and he did lose some weight, yeah. But his doctor said it's a side effect, not its main purpose. He also changed his diet and started walking. So, it's not a weight loss pill, bro. It's for diabetes first.

I'm a bit concerned about my weight, and I've heard about this medicine. Does anyone else here take it and actually see significant weight loss? I know it's for diabetes, but just wondering if the weight loss is consistent for everyone? I feel a bit anxious thinking about trying different meds.

I've heard some people on that medicine for diabetes sometimes lose weight, but it's not like a diet pill or anything. My friend's dad is on it. So if you're looking for weight loss specifically, maybe a doctor would suggest something else, or just good old exercise and food control?

Farxiga is primarily for managing type 2 diabetes and heart/kidney conditions. Some people might experience weight loss, but it's not prescribed just for that. It's crucial to discuss with your doctor. Focusing on a balanced diet and portion control is always important for both diabetes and weight management.

It's understandable to look for ways to manage weight, especially when there are so many health concerns linked to it. I've been there, feeling anxious about my health. While some people might lose weight on Farxiga, it's a medication for specific conditions. Please talk to your doctor about your weight loss goals and if this medicine is suitable for you.

Yaar, actually, it's mainly a diabetes medicine, not a weight loss one. Some people do find they lose a bit of weight because of how it works, but it's not guaranteed or the primary effect. Better to ask your doc if it's right for you, or just focus on diet and exercise for weight loss.
