A burning feeling with urination and increased frequency of urination are common UTI symptoms. However, more severe UTIs can occur and are typically heralded by fever, back pain, or vomiting. Whether mild or severe, UTI symptoms necessitate immediate medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/home-remedies-for-uti\/\"><b>Home remedies for UTI prevention and treatment<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"yeast-infections\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeast infections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genital yeast infections afflict about 8% of women and 3% of men on Farxiga, likely as a result of glucosuria (sugar in the urine). <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/yeast-infection-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaginal yeast infections<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in women and yeast balanitis (foreskin infection) in men occur.

Fournier gangrene is a severe infection of the skin and soft tissue of the genitals and perineum, which can involve the penis or scrotum of men and labia of women.

However, subsequent investigation has seemed to dispel that concern somewhat. Because Farxiga can cause one to urinate more and excessive urination can lead to dehydration, which is detrimental to kidney function, the monitoring of hydration status and kidney function is worthwhile during therapy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10847023\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term kidney health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> benefits from SGLT2 inhibitors like Farxiga as long as dehydration is avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"orthostatic-hypotension\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orthostatic hypotension<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low blood pressure precipitated by sitting up or standing up is termed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/low-blood-pressure\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">orthostatic hypotension<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Accordingly, the prescribing healthcare provider may advise drinking plenty of fluids before starting and during therapy with Farxiga.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-do-farxiga-side-effects-last\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do Farxiga side effects last?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain Farxiga adverse effects may resolve with discontinuation.
