The use of Dapagliflozin may cause symptoms such as stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, vaginal yeast infections, and yeast infections of the penis. In addition to that, one may experience frequent urination throughout the day or at night, and changes in quantity of urine.

Dapagliflozin is used to lower blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin or is not able to use the produced insulin properly.

In addition to that, it can also help prevent heart disease.
