FARXIGA (DAPAGLIFLOZIN) INDICATIONS

Farxiga is an oral prescription indicated for patients for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). It is an adjunct therapy to diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels. In addition, this oral antidiabetic medication can help reduce the risk of fatal cardiovascular death and the possibility of hospitalization for heart failure.

Farxiga’s generic name is dapagliflozin which belongs to a class of medicines known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Usually, the body produces insulin when eating, which helps in the transport of glucose from the bloodstream into the cells. After transportation, glucose is then converted to energy.

Individuals with type 2 DM are usually resistant to insulin at first and may progress to stopping the production of insulin later on. When there is no insulin, the cells cannot absorb glucose, causing high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).

When Farxiga is taken correctly and absorbed into the bloodstream, it blocks SGLT2. SGLT2 is the primary transporter responsible for the reabsorption of filtered glucosefrom the small network of tubules in the kidney which filters blood to create urine.

When Farxiga antidiabetic medication inhibits SGLT2, it enables you to urinate excess glucose from your body by decreasing the reabsorption of filtered glucose and reducing the renal glucose threshold.

In addition, Farxiga prescription reduces sodium reabsorption and increases sodium to the distal tubule. As a result, it decreases the strain put on the heart when it relaxes and fills with blood, and also reduces the pressure with which the heart ejects the blood to the rest of the body.
