The worst side effects of dapagliflozin include a serious risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (a dangerous buildup of acids in the blood), severe urinary tract infections, and acute kidney injury. Rarely, it can also cause necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum (Fournier's gangrene), a life-threatening infection. If you experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, fever, or pain, redness, or swelling in the genital area, seek medical attention immediately.
