Forxiga, also known as dapagliflozin, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, chronic heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. It works by removing excess sugar from the body through the urine, reducing the amount of sugar in the blood. Forxiga can be used on its own in patients with high blood glucose levels or as part of a treatment plan. The medication may cause side effects such as hypoglycemia, urinary tract infections, genital infections, and volume depletion. It can also make people urinate more often, leading to dehydration or a drop in blood pressure. Forxiga can help with weight loss due to the way it works, and it can provide benefits to the heart and kidneys. Farxiga is a similar medication to Forxiga. It is important to consult with a doctor before taking Forxiga or Farxiga.
