I was put on Farxgia last summer. I started to have some side effects in the fall like red blots on my lower legs. This year I also developed yeast infections this year and the red blots got larger and hotter. I saw my primary doctor and I was put on antibodotics and told to wear support hose. I called my cardiologist office to let them know about my side effects and my primary doctor taking me off Farxgia. My cardiologist agreed and told me discontinue the medication. Has anyone else been on Farxgia and have those side effects?

Farxiga. I was put on this a couple years ago and I developed a skin reaction. I had redness, blister like bumps, and itchiness. That is a definite reaction to the med. I was taken off the farxiga soon after I contacted my cardiologist.
