flag NHS warns diabetes drug users: seek help for dehydration, UTIs, or rare gangrene symptoms.

flag The NHS has warned patients on dapagliflozin, a diabetes and heart failure drug, to seek immediate medical help if they experience signs of dehydration, urinary tract infections, or Fournier’s gangrene—rare but serious conditions. flag The medication, used in treatments like Forxiga, Xigduo, and Qtern, costs the NHS about £300 million annually in England. flag Though side effects are uncommon, patients should monitor for symptoms like extreme thirst, reduced urination, fever, or groin pain, and contact a doctor promptly if they arise.
