Farxiga (dapagliflozin) is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It blocks the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys. This prevents sugar and sodium (salt) from absorbing back into your body in the kidneys.
For Type 2 diabetes: Instead of reabsorbing sugar back into the body, the sugar goes into your urine. This helps get rid of extra sugar in your blood and lower your blood sugar levels.
For heart failure: By preventing your body from reabsorbing sodium, the heart fills with blood easier and pumps blood more easily throughout the body. This lessens stress on the heart.
For CKD: The way that the medication works helps improve blood flow through the kidneys and lessens stress on the kidneys to help slow the worsening of CKD.
