What it is:
Dapagliflozin is a medication originally used for diabetes that also helps people with heart failure. It works by helping your body remove excess fluid and sugar through urine, which reduces strain on the heart.
Why I take it:
I take Dapagliflozin to support my heart function with severe LVSD (EF 20–25%). It helps reduce fluid buildup, easing breathlessness and improving energy levels.

Taken once daily, usually in the morning.
-
Important to take it consistently every day.
Safety Tips:
-
Drink enough fluids to stay hydrated.
-
Monitor for low blood pressure, dizziness, or dehydration.

Check blood sugar if you have diabetes.
How it helps me:
Dapagliflozin supports my heart, helps me stay active, and reduces symptoms like swelling and breathlessness, helping me live more safely and independently.
