Can I take 15 and Dapagliflozin together?

Why this happens

Dapagliflozin works by removing sugar through your urine, which changes how your body handles energy. Alcohol can interfere with the liver's ability to produce glucose and can lead to the buildup of ketones. Both substances also have a diuretic effect, meaning they make you lose more water.

It is best to avoid excessive alcohol consumption (binge drinking) while taking dapagliflozin. If you do choose to drink, do so in moderation and always have food with your drink. Be aware of the signs of ketoacidosis, such as nausea, stomach pain, excessive thirst, or confusion, and seek medical help immediately if these occur.
