Like all medicines, Jardiance may cause side effects, although many people take it without serious problems. The most commonly reported side effects include genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and increased urination, which occurs because the medication helps remove excess sugar through urine. Some patients may also experience increased thirst or mild infections such as colds or flu-like symptoms.

Less common but more serious side effects can include dehydration, low blood pressure, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes complication), kidney problems, or severe allergic reactions. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience symptoms such as severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, breathing difficulty, unusual tiredness, or swelling of the face or throat.

Always use Jardiance exactly as prescribed and speak to your healthcare provider if you are concerned about any symptoms while taking this medication.
