Penis yeast infections (thrush) in men such as irritation or itching are common possible side effects of Forxiga - they may affect up to 1 in 10 people. This is because Forxiga works by increasing the excretion of glucose in the urine. This causes that yeasts naturally living in the intimate areas have good conditions for growth and development, which can cause disease symptoms. If the symptoms become severe and recur, it would be best to talk to your doctor about it: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane You can not help how the drug works, but as part of self-care, to counteract fungal infections, you can pay special attention to perineal hygiene - e.g. rinse the genital area with water after urinating and before bedtime, take care of cotton, comfortable underwear. It is also believed that adequate hydration is important - you should drink a daily portion of fluids not less than that resulting from due on the basis of body weight, age and possibly other factors. The point is that there is no stagnation of urine. If the infection has already occurred, then you should consult a doctor - he may decide to include antifungal treatment in the form of topical or oral preparations. In the event that additional symptoms suggesting urinary tract infection appear, the consultation should take place as soon as possible: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose additional information about Forxiga - prescription products can be booked at WherePoLek and collected stationary upon presentation of a prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92331/forxiga-tabletki-powlekane/apteki
