JARDIANCE Side Effects:

There are several potential risks and adverse effects associated with the use of JARDIANCE, including:

• Ketoacidosis, a severe condition characterized by an increase in ketones in the blood or urine that can lead to death. It can occur in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who are taking JARDIANCE, even if their blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. Those who are ill or have undergone surgery while taking JARDIANCE may also be at risk. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, or difficulty breathing and check for ketones in your urine, if possible.

• Dehydration, which can cause dizziness, fainting, lightheadedness, or weakness, especially when standing. JARDIANCE can lead to a sudden decline in kidney function, particularly in individuals who are taking blood pressure-lowering drugs, following a low-salt diet, or have kidney issues, or who are 65 years of age or older. Consult your healthcare provider about the recommended daily fluid intake and what to do if you experience vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive exposure to the sun.

• Serious urinary tract infections that may necessitate hospitalization. Symptoms may include pain while urinating, frequent or urgent urination, lower abdominal or pelvic pain, or bloody urine. Some individuals may also experience fever, back pain, nausea, or vomiting.

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when JARDIANCE is used with other medications that may induce hypoglycemia, such as sulfonylurea or insulin. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, weakness, dizziness, confusion, hunger, rapid heartbeat, sweating, shaking, or irritability. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your medication dosage.

• Necrotizing fasciitis, an uncommon but severe bacterial infection that affects the tissue beneath the skin in the perineum (the area between the anus and genitals). This infection can result in hospitalization, multiple surgeries, and death. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience fever, weakness, malaise, or pain, tenderness, swelling, or redness of the skin in the perineum.

• Vaginal yeast infection, which may cause vaginal odor, white or yellowish vaginal discharge that may be lumpy or resemble cottage cheese, and vaginal itching.

• Yeast infection of the penis, which may cause swelling that makes it difficult to retract the skin around the penis, redness, itching, rash, foul-smelling discharge, and pain in the skin around the penis. Talk to your healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.
