Is it safe to take Forxiga 5mg in the morning after breakfast if my fasting blood sugar is 172 and I am already taking metformin (Glycomet 500sr) at night after dinner?

Yes, it is generally safe and very common to take Forxiga (dapagliflozin) 5mg in the morning after breakfast alongside your nighttime Glycomet 500sr (metformin). Since your fasting blood sugar is 172 mg/dL, adding this medication can help bring your levels closer to your target range. Dapagliflozin works by helping your kidneys remove excess sugar through urine, so please remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay well-hydrated. Because everyone's body responds differently, please share these readings with your doctor so they can safely supervise this combination and monitor your progress.
