Farxiga (generic name: dapagliflozin) is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.

Farxiga acts as a blocker for the SGLT2 protein, which is situated in the early parts of the kidney tubules. Its primary function is to reabsorb the glucose from the filtered liquid back into the body. By doing this, the drug ensures that more glucose is expelled through urine rather than being taken back into the blood.

Beyond its effect on glucose, Farxiga also impacts how the kidneys handle salt. This can lead to several physiological effects, including reducing the workload on the heart, moderating specific body signals, and potentially decreasing the internal pressure within the kidney’s filtering units.

Outcomes include:

An improvement in glycemic control in adults with type 2 Diabetes
A reduction in the risk of sustained kidney decline
A reduction in the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults with diabetes or kidney decline

Dosage

Dosage is dependent on the underlying condition. It is essential to follow the prescribing healthcare professional’s instructions and read the Patient Information leaflet that comes with the package.

Can Farxiga be used to treat heart failure (HF)?

Dapagliflozin and metformin are sometimes prescribed in combination to reduce the risk of kidney disease, cardiovascular damage or heart failure in patients with chronic kidney disease. Dapagliflozin’s effect is to prevent the absorption of glucose in the kidneys. Dapagliflozin is usually prescribed for patients who cannot take metformin, or when metformin is no longer keeping blood sugar level under control.

Farxiga belongs to a class of medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors are intended for use with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. They lower blood sugar levels by causing the kidneys to excrete more glucose in the urine. Farxiga can also be prescribed to prevent heart failure.

Metformin and Farxiga are prescribed together for the treatment of diabetes. Dapagliflozin is associated with mild and sustained weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes.

SGLT2 inhibitors such as Farxiga (dapagliflozin) can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Read Farxiga's product label and warnings in the patient guide provided with the medication about the risk of kidney injury.
