What is Dapagliflozin?

Dapagliflozin is a prescription medication belonging to the SGLT2 inhibitor class. It works by helping your kidneys remove excess glucose through urine, which lowers blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Beyond diabetes management, dapagliflozin also reduces the risk of hospitalization in people with heart failure and slows kidney disease progression in those with chronic kidney disease.

Important Treatment Information

Dapagliflozin is used for specific conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease when prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Patients should take dapagliflozin exactly as prescribed and continue recommended follow-up care, including blood sugar, kidney function, and hydration monitoring when appropriate.

Dapagliflozin should not be used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

What Are the Benefits of Dapagliflozin?

Dapagliflozin offers multiple health benefits beyond blood sugar control:

  • Lowers blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes by removing excess glucose through urine
  • Reduces heart failure hospitalization risk in adults with heart failure and reduced or preserved ejection fraction
  • Slows chronic kidney disease progression in adults at risk of disease advancement
  • May support weight loss as a secondary benefit due to glucose and calorie loss through urine
  • Lowers blood pressure modestly in many patients
  • Reduces cardiovascular death risk in certain patient populations with heart failure

For comprehensive benefit information, consult your healthcare provider about how dapagliflozin fits into your treatment plan.

Dosage

The typical starting dose for dapagliflozin is 5 mg once daily, taken in the morning with or without food. Your doctor may increase your dose to 10 mg once daily if additional blood sugar control is needed. Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific dosing instructions, as individual needs vary based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Dosage Chart

Population / Condition Dosage Recommendation Frequency Route of Administration Notes
Type 2 Diabetes (Initial) 5 mg Starting dose Once daily Oral May be taken with or without food
Type 2 Diabetes (Maintenance) 10 mg If additional control needed Once daily Oral Based on tolerability and glycemic control

What Dosage Strengths Does Dapagliflozin Come In?

Dapagliflozin is available in two tablet strengths:

  • 5 mg tablets – Yellow, biconvex, film-coated round tablets

Both strengths are taken once daily and can be taken with or without food. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not split, crushed, or chewed.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of dapagliflozin, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Never take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose, as this can increase your risk of side effects.

Overdose

Taking too much dapagliflozin can increase your risk of dehydration, low blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances. If you suspect an overdose, contact your healthcare provider or poison control center immediately at 1-800-222-1222. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience severe symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Dapagliflozin is the generic name, while Farxiga is the brand name marketed by AstraZeneca in the United States. In Canada and other countries, the brand name is Forxiga. Both contain the same active ingredient—dapagliflozin propanediol monohydrate—and work identically.

Dapagliflozin is pronounced “dap-a-gli-FLOE-zin.” The emphasis falls on the third syllable. Healthcare professionals may also refer to it by its brand names, Farxiga or Forxiga, which are easier to pronounce.

Dapagliflozin tablets treat type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. They also reduce hospitalization risk in adults with heart failure and slow kidney disease progression in people with chronic kidney disease. Your doctor prescribes dapagliflozin based on your specific medical condition and treatment goals.

The most common side effects include genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, increased urination, back pain, and nausea. Most side effects are mild and manageable. Contact your healthcare provider if side effects persist or worsen.

No. Dapagliflozin actually protects kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease. However, it’s not suitable for patients with severe kidney impairment (eGFR less than 25 mL/min/1.73 m²) because it becomes ineffective at that level of kidney function.

Dapagliflozin prices vary significantly between the U.S. and Canada. In the U.S., retail prices can exceed $500-600 per month. When you order from Buy Canadian Insulin, prices start around $1.11-1.50 per tablet, offering substantial savings for American patients.

No. Dapagliflozin tablets should be swallowed whole and not cut, crushed, or chewed. Splitting the tablet may affect how the medication is absorbed and could alter its effectiveness. If you need a different dose, ask your doctor to prescribe the appropriate strength.

Dapagliflozin alone rarely causes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas, your risk for low blood sugar increases. Your doctor may need to adjust doses of these other medications when starting dapagliflozin.

Yes. Linagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) and dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) can be safely combined. This combination provides complementary mechanisms for blood sugar control and is sometimes prescribed together for enhanced diabetes management.

Yes. Genital yeast infections are one of the most common side effects of dapagliflozin. The medication increases glucose in urine, which can promote yeast growth. Women experience this side effect more frequently than men. Most infections are mild and respond well to standard antifungal treatments.

Yes, when used as prescribed. Dapagliflozin has been extensively studied and approved by regulatory agencies worldwide. While it carries some risks—like any medication—most patients tolerate it well. Your doctor will assess whether dapagliflozin is safe for your specific health situation.

Take dapagliflozin once daily in the morning, with or without food. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain consistent blood levels and makes it easier to remember. Morning dosing also means increased urination occurs during waking hours rather than at night.

Stop taking dapagliflozin at least 3 days before scheduled surgery requiring general anesthesia or prolonged fasting. This reduces the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis during the surgical period. Resume dapagliflozin only after you’re eating and drinking normally and your kidney function is stable.

Generic dapagliflozin is already available in Canada through manufacturers like Glenmark Pharmaceuticals and Pharmascience. In the United States, generic versions may become available after patent expiration, though exact dates depend on patent litigation and FDA approval processes.

AstraZeneca manufactures the brand-name versions (Farxiga in the U.S., Forxiga internationally). Generic dapagliflozin is produced by several manufacturers, including Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. and Pharmascience Canada, both of which supply the Canadian market.

No. While both are SGLT2 inhibitors that work similarly, they’re different medications. Dapagliflozin is sold as Farxiga/Forxiga, while empagliflozin is marketed as Jardiance. Both lower blood sugar and provide cardiovascular benefits, but they have slightly different dosing and approved indications.

Diarrhea is not a common side effect of dapagliflozin. However, some patients may experience gastrointestinal symptoms when starting the medication. If you develop persistent diarrhea while taking dapagliflozin, contact your healthcare provider to rule out other causes.

Yes, for most kidney patients. Dapagliflozin is actually prescribed to slow chronic kidney disease progression. However, it’s not effective in patients with severe kidney impairment (eGFR less than 25 mL/min/1.73 m²). Your doctor will monitor your kidney function regularly while you’re taking dapagliflozin.

No. Dapagliflozin tablets should not be crushed, split, or chewed. Swallow them whole with water. Crushing the tablet may affect how the medication is absorbed and could reduce its effectiveness. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, discuss alternative medications with your doctor.

Yes. Dapagliflozin can increase the risk of oral and genital thrush (yeast infections caused by Candida). The medication increases glucose levels in urine and saliva, creating an environment where yeast can thrive. Most cases respond well to antifungal treatment and don’t require stopping dapagliflozin.
