Farxiga (dapagliflozin) is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys. This prevents sugar and sodium (salt) from absorbing back into your body.
For Type 2 diabetes: Instead of being absorbed back into your body, extra sugar passes into your urine. This helps lower your blood sugar levels.
For heart failure: By stopping your body from absorbing back too much sodium, the heart can fill with blood and pump blood through the body more easily. This helps lessen stress on the heart.
For CKD: The way that the medication works to help improve blood flow through the kidneys. This helps lessen stress on the kidneys and slow down CKD.
