What Causes Muscle Spasms In The Leg After Taking Jardiance?
I started a new medication Jaridance, I noticed that when I walk I can not walk but only 15 minutes. I read the side effects around this medication. It is my left leg. Do I need to continue this medication or have my doctor to discontinue. I started feeling like this when i started this medication. I am a diabetic. The symptoms feels like I am having muscle spasms.

dear
thanks for writing to hcm
as rightly said jardiance or empagliflozin has also joint pain as a side effect.although marked both pain inlegs is not a common complain.
There are other side effects as well like fungal infection,prolonged weakness and hypotension.
please consult for an alternative if possible, mean while do take care of diet and rest.
hope this helps
