Yes, your medication Ajaduo (which contains empagliflozin and linagliptin) can cause these infections. Empagliflozin works by removing excess sugar through your urine, and this extra sugar can encourage yeast growth. Many patients continue taking this medication safely long-term by practicing good hygiene and using simple antifungal treatments. However, if these infections are frequent or highly uncomfortable, please speak with your doctor. They can help you manage the symptoms or safely adjust your treatment plan to keep you comfortable and healthy.
