looked at the effects of taking Jardiance in the evening versus the morning in healthy adults. The study found that after taking a single 10 mg dose of Jardiance, the time it took for the medication to reach its peak concentration (T max) was slightly shorter in the morning compared to the evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nInterestingly, the total exposure of the drug measured through AUC (area under the curve) was slightly higher for the evening dose than for the morning dose. In other words, there were differences in how the body processed the medication depending on the time it was given.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe study also looked at the amount of blood sugar excreted in urine (UGE) over 24 hours after taking Jardiance. Surprisingly, the study found that more blood sugar was excreted after the evening dose than after the morning dose. However, despite these differences between evening and morning doses, the study concluded that there was no significant statistical difference in the effects of Jardiance when taken at night versus in the morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s important to follow the advice of a healthcare provider since factors like kidney function, blood sugar levels, and other medications can affect the timing.<\/span><\/p>\nPotential side effects during sleep<\/b><\/h3>\n Jardiance works to lower blood sugar the same way at nighttime as it does in the morning. However, there may still be <\/span>side effects<\/span> associated with taking it at night. For example, taking Jardiance at night may increase the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia (low blood sugar during sleep), especially if it\u2019s taken with other glucose-lowering medications such as insulin.<\/span><\/p>\nSymptoms of low blood sugar<\/span> to be aware of include:<\/span><\/p>\n\nSweating<\/span><\/li>\nTrembling<\/span><\/li>\nDizziness<\/span><\/li>\nConfusion<\/span><\/li>\nHeadache<\/span><\/li>\nWeakness\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nRapid heartbeat\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nTingling or numbness in the lips, tongue, or cheeks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHypoglycemia can lead to sleep disturbances, and since signs of low blood sugar may go unnoticed during sleep, it poses a risk that may need to be monitored.<\/span><\/p>\nOther side effects may be associated with Jardiance, no matter when it\u2019s taken. The most common side effects include <\/span>urinary tract infections<\/span> and <\/span>yeast infections<\/span> (in women). Serious side effects are possible and may include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\nDiabetic ketoacidosis<\/b>: <\/span>Diabetic ketoacidosis<\/span> is a serious condition where the body produces high levels of ketones, which can be life-threatening. It mainly affects people with Type 1 diabetes but can also occur in people with Type 2 diabetes or pancreas problems. Factors like illness, diet changes, alcohol consumption, dehydration, or missed insulin doses can trigger it. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, tiredness, abdominal pain, and trouble breathing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nDehydration<\/b>: <\/span>Dehydration<\/span> can happen after taking Jardiance, causing the body to lose water and salt. Signs of dehydration include dizziness, fainting, and weakness, especially when standing up. Those at higher risk include people who are on blood pressure medications, are following a low-sodium diet, have kidney issues, or are age 65 or older.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nAmputations<\/b>: Certain medications may increase the risk of lower limb amputations. People with a history of amputation, narrowed blood vessels, or diabetic foot problems are at higher risk while taking Jardiance. Immediate medical attention is necessary for new pain, sores, ulcers, or infections in the leg or foot.<\/span><\/li>\nSerious allergic reactions<\/b>: If signs of a serious allergic reaction develop, stopping the medication and seeking medical help are key. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may require urgent attention and include severe hives, itching, swelling of the face or throat, and trouble breathing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTaking Jardiance at night can be safe and effective. Although the time of taking Jardiance may be adjusted based on your routine and healthcare provider\u2019s recommendations, it may be advised to watch blood sugar levels and keep an eye on potential side effects.<\/span><\/p>\nGuidance for proper use of Jardiance<\/b><\/h2>\n Jardiance should be taken daily, preferably at the same time every day. You may want to include the medication in your daily routine, such as before or after breakfast, to help you remember to take it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIf you miss a dose, it\u2019s important to take it as soon as you remember unless it\u2019s almost time for the next dose; in that case, skip the missed dose. Do not double up on doses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nJardiance works best as part of a <\/span>well-rounded treatment plan<\/span><\/a> that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring. Combining Jardiance with lifestyle changes helps maximize its effectiveness and can help promote improved overall health.<\/span><\/p>\nSerious side effects should not be overlooked. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, severe urinary infection, or diabetic ketoacidosis. Serious bacterial infections and an increased risk of lower-limb amputations have been associated with Jardiance use in rare cases.<\/span><\/p>\nConsult a healthcare provider for proper dosage instructions, and never make changes to your medication regimen without medical advice. You should also tell your healthcare provider about other medical conditions you might have or other medications you take, as these can affect how Jardiance works or increase the risk of side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBottom line<\/b><\/h2>\n Taking Jardiance at night is not based on typical dosing recommendations. It\u2019s usually recommended to take Jardiance in the morning, with or without food. However, Jardiance may still be effective for managing blood sugar levels if it is taken at night. Whether you take Jardiance in the morning or at night, aim to take it at the same time every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nStudies suggest that there is no significant difference in the effects of Jardiance in the morning or at night. Still, the effects of Jardiance can vary by individual. Always consult a healthcare provider on the appropriate dosage, especially if you take other medications or have other medical conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n \n
