Dapagliflozin, sold under the brand names Farxiga (US) and Forxiga (EU) among others, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes.[6][7][9] It is also used to treat adults with heart failure and chronic kidney disease.[10][11][7] It reversibly inhibits sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) in the renal proximal convoluted tubule to reduce glucose reabsorption and increase urinary glucose excretion.[12]
Common side effects include hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), urinary tract infections, genital infections, and volume depletion (reduced amount of water in the body).[13] Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common side effect in people with type 1 diabetes.[14] Serious but rare side effects include Fournier gangrene.[15]
It was developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb in partnership with AstraZeneca. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[16] In 2021, it was the 187th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 2million prescriptions.[17][18] Dapagliflozin is available as a generic medication.
