Farxiga (Dapagliflozin) prescription available online

Farxiga is FDA-approved for use in adults with type 2 diabetes. Farxiga may be used by people with type 2 diabetes to:

• Lower glucose levels when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

• Help those with heart problems or heart disease risk factors and avoid hospitalization for heart failure in adults.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that results in elevated blood sugar. Without treatment, diabetes progresses, and the elevation of blood sugar worsens. This has a number of harmful consequences and puts people at risk for heart, kidney, eye, and brain disease including heart attack, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, loss of vision, and kidney failure.

Farxiga is approved for the treatment of adults with heart failure. Heart failure is when the heart does not effectively pump as much blood through the vascular system as compared to a healthy heart. Farxiga may lower the risk of the following:

• Worsening Heart Failure

• Hospitalizations for heart failure

• Cardiovascular death

Typical signs of heart failure include breathing problems like being short of breath with activity, fatigue, and swelling or edema in your ankles, legs, and feet.

Side effects of Farxiga may include:

• Dyslipidemia or change of cholesterol lab panel

• Dehydration

• Nausea

• Dysuria or painful urination

• Vaginal or penile fungal infection

• Increased urine output

• Urinary tract infection

• Influenza

• Back pain

• Limb pain

• Sore throat or cold-like symptoms

Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level)

• Ketoacidosis (hyperglycemia)

• Allergic reaction: Trouble breathing; swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

• Fournier's gangrene: A severe and potentially fatal condition involving tissue breakdown in the genitals or anus.

• Dehydration: Because Farxiga causes you to urinate more frequently, it can also lead to dehydration.

You should call your healthcare professional if you notice any of these side effects or develop other new or concerning symptoms.
