Overview
Forxiga is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic (long-term) kidney disease.
In type 2 diabetes, Forxiga is used in adults and children from 10 years of age whose condition is not controlled well enough. It is used with appropriate diet and exercise in patients who cannot take metformin (another diabetes medicine). It can also be used as ‘add-on’ treatment to other diabetes medicines.
In heart failure, Forxiga is used in adults who have symptoms of the disease and reduced ejection fraction (a measure of how well the heart pumps blood). Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood around the body.
In chronic kidney disease, Forxiga is used in adults with reduced kidney function.
Forxiga contains the active substance dapagliflozin.
