Farxiga (active ingredient: dapagliflozin) is a prescription medication used to treat various conditions related to diabetes, heart failure, and kidney disease. It belongs to a class of drugs called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Farxiga was developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb in partnership with AstraZeneca. It first gained FDA approval on January 8, 2014. The medication is marketed under the brand name Farxiga in the United States and Forxiga in the European Union and other countries.

Farxiga is indicated for the following uses:

Farxiga for Type 2 Diabetes

Farxiga is indicated to improve blood sugar control in adults and children aged 10 years and older. It works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Beyond managing blood sugar, Farxiga also helps reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults with cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors.

Key benefits:

  • Lowers blood sugar levels.
  • Reduces the risk of heart failure-related hospital stays.

Farxiga for Heart Failure

Farxiga is also approved as a treatment for heart failure, specifically for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This condition is characterized by the heart’s inability to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention.

Farxiga has been shown to:

  • Lower the risk of cardiovascular death.
  • Reduce hospitalizations and urgent visits related to heart failure.

Farxiga for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

For adults with chronic kidney disease, Farxiga offers protection against worsening kidney function. It works by:

  • Slowing the decline of kidney function (measured by eGFR).
  • Reducing the risk of end-stage kidney disease.
  • Lowering the chances of cardiovascular death or heart failure-related hospitalization.

Farxiga works by:

  • Inhibiting SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubules, preventing glucose reabsorption and promoting its excretion in urine7
  • Reducing sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, which affects heart preload and afterload, sympathetic activity, and intraglomerular pressure

Dapagliflozin should be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. It is important to take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it, so it is recommended to take it at the same time each day.

The recommended starting dose for improving glycemic control is 5 mg of Dapagliflozin taken orally once daily, which can be increased to 10 mg for additional glycemic control. For other indications, the recommended dose is 10 mg of Dapagliflozin taken orally once daily. It is important to take Farxiga as prescribed by your doctor, and to follow all instructions for taking the medication.

Common side effects of Dapagliflozin

  • 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

Serious side effects, including:

Farxiga and its affordable generic alternative Dapagliflozin are available in the following forms and strengths:

Farxiga Film Coated Tablet:

  • 5 mg
  • 10 mg

Dapagliflozin Film Coated Tablet:

  • 5 mg
  • 10 mg

  • Farxiga should not be used by pregnant women and can cause harm to the fetus. It’s also not recommended for use by patients with type 1 diabetes.
  • During pregnancy, Farxiga should only be considered if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Pregnancy may cause or worsen diabetes. Discuss a plan with your doctor for managing your blood sugar while pregnant. Your doctor may change your diabetes treatment during your pregnancy (such as diet and medications including insulin).
  • Older adults should be monitored closely when taking Farxiga, as they may be more sensitive to the side effects of this medication. Common side effects that elderly adults may experience include dizziness or fainting (especially when standing), dehydration, and kidney disease.
  • It is important to note that Farxiga is not intended for use in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in association with polycystic kidney disease.

How quickly does dapagliflozin work?

Dapagliflozin starts to work after about 2 hours to reduce your blood glucose levels, but it may take up to a week for it to take full effect. You may not have had any symptoms of diabetes, so you will not necessarily feel any different when you take dapagliflozin.

What happens when you stop Farxiga?

Farxiga is not habit-forming and can be stopped without fear of withdrawal syndrome.

How many Farxiga can you take in a day?

To improve glycemic control, the recommended starting dose is 5 mg orally once daily. Dose can be increased to 10 mg orally once daily for additional glycemic control.
