Why is Farxiga prescribed?
Dapagliflozin (Farxiga) is used to manage Type 2 Diabetes - a lifelong condition that presents with elevated blood sugar levels because the body does not use insulin normally (insulin resistance).
What does it do?
As an SGLT2 inhibitor, Farxiga works by causing the kidneys to eliminate more glucose in the urine which helps in controlling blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
How should I take it?
Farxiga comes in 5mg or 10mg tablets which are to be taken whole (not chewed or crushed), by mouth, with or without food. It is used only to control Type 2 Diabetes, not cure it. Hence, it is important to take this medication continuously unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.
What if I missed a dose?
Taking the dose properly at the scheduled time is needed to attain the desired effect of the drug. If you forgot to take your medicine, immediately take the next dose to make up for the missed dose. However, if it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and catch the next dose at the regular time. Never take two doses just to make up for your missed dose.
What are the special precautions before taking Farxiga?
Avoid alcohol intake while on this medication. Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Farxiga or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.
Inform your doctor if you had any form of surgery or if you are planning to get one.
