Your doctor may prescribe this medicine in combination with other antidiabetic agents if your blood sugar remains high and inadequately controlled. Do not use this medicine if you have an allergy to dapagliflozin or any other ingredient in Dapefy 10mg tablet. Inform your doctor if you develop urinary tract infections, as this medicine may increase the risk of UTI. This medicine is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age. Your doctor will monitor kidney function at least annually, or more frequently as clinically indicated, while you are taking this medicine. If you experience nausea, vomiting, fever, or inability to eat or drink during treatment with Dapefy 10mg tablet, inform your doctor promptly. These symptoms can lead to dehydration, and your doctor may recommend temporarily stopping the medication until recovery is achieved. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can occur while taking this drug, even when blood glucose levels appear normal. If you experience symptoms suggestive of DKA, contact your doctor or attend the nearest hospital immediately.
