Farxiga (active ingredient: dapagliflozin) is a prescription medication used to help manage type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). It belongs to a group of medications called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Farxiga works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose (sugar) from the body through the urine. It also helps reduce strain on the heart and kidneys, providing benefits beyond blood sugar management.

Farxiga for Type 2 Diabetes

Farxiga is used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes. It is most effective when used alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

In addition to lowering blood sugar levels, Farxiga can help reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes who have cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

Key Benefits for Type 2 Diabetes

  • Helps lower blood sugar levels.
  • Supports long-term diabetes management.
  • Reduces the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure in eligible patients.

Farxiga for Heart Failure

Farxiga is approved to help treat certain types of heart failure, including heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In this condition, the heart cannot pump blood as effectively as it should, which can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness, and fluid buildup.

Farxiga can help reduce the burden of heart failure and improve long-term outcomes.

Key Benefits for Heart Failure

  • Helps lower the risk of cardiovascular death.
  • Reduces hospitalizations related to heart failure.
  • Decreases the need for urgent medical visits due to worsening heart failure.

Farxiga for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Farxiga is also used in adults with chronic kidney disease to help protect kidney function and slow disease progression.

By supporting kidney health, Farxiga can help reduce the risk of serious kidney-related complications and cardiovascular events.

Key Benefits for Chronic Kidney Disease

  • Helps slow the decline of kidney function.
  • Reduces the risk of end-stage kidney disease.
  • Lowers the risk of cardiovascular death.
  • Helps reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure.

How Farxiga Works

Farxiga works by blocking a protein called SGLT2 in the kidneys. This action prevents some glucose from being reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, allowing excess sugar to be removed from the body through the urine.

Farxiga also helps the body eliminate excess sodium. This effect can reduce pressure on the heart and kidneys, helping improve heart function, support kidney health, and reduce the risk of complications associated with cardiovascular and kidney disease.

Farxiga (dapagliflozin) is taken by mouth once daily and may be taken with or without food. It is usually taken in the morning. To help you remember your dose, try to take it at the same time each day.

Your dose will depend on the condition being treated and how your body responds to the medication. Taking Farxiga regularly helps you get the most benefit from treatment. Always take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Recommended Dosage

Type 2 Diabetes

Adults and children 10 years of age and older:

  • Starting dose: 5 mg taken by mouth once daily.
  • Your healthcare provider may increase the dose to 10 mg once daily if additional blood sugar control is needed.

Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease

Adults:

  • Recommended dose: 10 mg taken by mouth once daily.
  • May be taken with or without food.

Do not change your dose or stop taking Farxiga without speaking with your healthcare provider. If you have questions about your treatment or dosage, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

Common Side Effects of Farxiga include:

  • Genital yeast infection
  • Respiratory infections, such as the common cold or the flu
  • Urinary tract infection
  • Increased urination
  • Back pain
  • Nausea
  • Increased cholesterol levels
  • Constipation

  • Farxiga is generally not recommended during pregnancy because it may harm an unborn baby. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Farxiga. Pregnancy can affect blood sugar levels and may make diabetes more difficult to manage. Your healthcare provider can help you develop a treatment plan that is appropriate during pregnancy. In some cases, your diabetes treatment may need to be adjusted.
  • Older adults may be more sensitive to certain side effects of Farxiga and may require closer monitoring during treatment. Some side effects that may occur more frequently in older adults include dizziness, fainting, dehydration, and changes in kidney function. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience symptoms such as lightheadedness, weakness, or signs of dehydration.
  • Farxiga is not approved for the treatment of type 1 diabetes and should not be used for this condition. It is also not intended for patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication of diabetes that requires immediate medical attention.
  • Farxiga is not recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with polycystic kidney disease, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established for this use.
  • Before starting Farxiga, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including kidney problems, diabetes-related complications, or any plans for pregnancy.

How Quickly Does Farxiga Work?

Farxiga (dapagliflozin) begins working within a few hours of taking your first dose and may start lowering blood sugar levels in about 2 hours. However, it can take up to a week or longer to experience the full benefits of treatment. Because high blood sugar often does not cause noticeable symptoms, you may not feel any different when you start taking Farxiga. Continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if you do not notice immediate changes.

What Happens If You Stop Taking Farxiga?

Farxiga is not habit-forming and does not cause withdrawal symptoms when stopped. However, stopping treatment may cause your blood sugar levels to rise or reduce the heart and kidney benefits that the medication provides. Do not stop taking Farxiga without talking to your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether stopping treatment is appropriate for your situation.

How Much Farxiga Can You Take in a Day?

The recommended starting dose of Farxiga for improving blood sugar control is 5 mg taken once daily. If additional blood sugar control is needed, your healthcare provider may increase the dose to 10 mg once daily. Always take Farxiga exactly as prescribed and do not take more than the recommended dose unless directed by your healthcare provider.
