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.
