Taking these two medicines together is generally safe and very common for managing type 2 diabetes. However, because both drugs work to lower your blood sugar, there is a slightly higher risk of your blood sugar dropping too low (hypoglycaemia), although this is still uncommon unless you also take other diabetes medications like insulin or sulphonylureas. There is also a rare but serious risk of a condition called ketoacidosis, where the blood becomes too acidic.

Varför detta händer
Dapagliflozin works by helping your kidneys remove excess sugar through your urine. Metformin works by reducing the amount of sugar your liver produces and helping your body respond better to its own insulin. Because they lower blood sugar in different ways, their effects are additive (they work together to provide better control than either drug alone).
Vad du bör göra
Tillbaka till innehållYou should continue taking your medication as prescribed. Learn to recognise the signs of low blood sugar (such as feeling shaky, sweaty, or dizzy) and keep a source of quick-acting sugar nearby. It is important to stay well-hydrated and seek medical advice immediately if you feel very unwell, have nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain, as these can be signs of ketoacidosis. Always tell your doctor if you are scheduled for surgery or have a severe illness, as you may need to temporarily stop taking dapagliflozin.

Can I take Lisinopril and Potassium together?
Taking lisinopril and potassium supplements together can cause the levels of potassium in your blood to become dangerously high (a condition called hyperkalaemia). While your body needs potassium for your heart and muscles to work, too much of it can lead to serious heart rhythm problems or even cause the heart to stop. Symptoms of high potassium can include muscle weakness, tingling sensations, or palpitations, but often there are no symptoms until the level is very high.

Can I take Aspirin and Tramadol together?
Taking aspirin and tramadol together can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly in the stomach or gut. It may also increase the risk of side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, or feeling sick. Additionally, both medications can affect your kidney function, especially if you are dehydrated or have existing kidney issues.
