In brief
Forxiga (dapagliflozin) has three adult uses in Australia: blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes, fewer hospital admissions for heart failure and slower progression of kidney disease.
What Forxiga is used for
In adults, Forxiga lowers blood sugar in type 2 diabetes mellitus, reduces how often people with heart failure are admitted to hospital, and slows the progression of kidney disease, according to the Forxiga consumer medicine information. Its active ingredient is dapagliflozin.
This listing shows dapagliflozin 5 mg and 10 mg. It does not name the manufacturer of the tablets supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.
