Warnings and precautions

Prescription-only antidiabetic. Risk of genital mycotic infections and UTIs; seek care for fever, burning urination, or genital symptoms. May cause dehydration/low blood pressure—use caution in elderly, on diuretics, or with low fluid intake. Rare but serious: pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain), diabetic ketoacidosis (nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, breathlessness even with near-normal sugars), severe allergic reactions. Monitor kidney function before and during therapy; dapagliflozin efficacy reduces with impaired renal function and may not be recommended in significant kidney disease—follow doctor advice. Temporarily withhold before major surgery or during acute serious illness/fasting to reduce ketoacidosis risk.
