Can I take Dapagliflozin and Ibuprofen together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Dapagliflozin works by making the kidneys filter sugar out of the blood, which also causes more water to leave the body. Ibuprofen (an NSAID) reduces the blood flow into the kidneys. When these two effects happen at the same time, the kidneys can become 'stressed' and struggle to function properly, especially if you are dehydrated.

You should avoid taking ibuprofen regularly while taking dapagliflozin. If you need pain relief, paracetamol is generally a safer choice. If you must take ibuprofen, keep it to the lowest dose for the shortest time possible, and ensure you drink plenty of water. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice a decrease in how much you urinate, swelling in your ankles, or unusual tiredness.

Asthme

Ne prenez pas ce médicament si vous souffrez d'asthme, car il peut provoquer une aggravation potentiellement mortelle de votre respiration ou une réaction allergique grave.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) risk

Seek urgent medical help if you feel very unwell with nausea, stomach pain, or fruity-smelling breath. This medicine can cause a serious condition called ketoacidosis, even if your blood sugar levels appear normal.

Dehydration and Kidney Function

Taking these together significantly increases the risk of acute kidney injury. You must stay well-hydrated and stop taking them temporarily if you have a fever, diarrhoea, or vomiting.

Alcool

Drinking alcohol with dapagliflozin can increase the risk of dehydration and a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). When taking ibuprofen, alcohol can increase the risk of stomach irritation and bleeding. It is best to limit or avoid alcohol while taking these medicines.

Eau et boissons non alcoolisées

Dapagliflozin works by removing sugar through your urine, which can cause dehydration. It is important to drink plenty of water and non-alcoholic fluids throughout the day to stay hydrated.
