What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Farxiga?

What is your opinion of Farxiga? My doctor wants me to start taking Farxiga. I have been taking Januvia 100mg once a day along with Glimepiride 4 mg in the morning and Glimepiride 4 mg in the evening with 2 Metformin 500mg ER. My A1C is still high, but I haven t had any bad side effects. I have had some very nasty comments regarding Farxiga. What do you think as I m not thrilled about taking a new medication?
