Farxiga<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>dapagliflozin<\/span>) is a <\/span>brand-name<\/span> prescription drug<\/span> made by <\/span>AstraZeneca<\/span> and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (<\/span>FDA<\/span>) in 2014 for <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a>. Since then, its <\/span>FDA<\/span>-approved uses have expanded, now including kidney disease, <\/span>heart failure<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span>. Farxiga helps the body get rid of excess <\/span>glucose<\/span> (sugar) through the urine to manage diabetes while also helping the body remove sodium to support kidney and heart function. Since the <\/span>brand-name<\/span> drug can be costly for some, many people opt for the generic version, which has been approved since 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are the differences between generic vs. brand-name Farxiga?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although <\/span>generic drugs<\/span> may look different from their <\/span>brand-name<\/span> counterparts, they contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way. What\u2019s more, <\/span>authorized generics<\/span><\/a>, specifically, are <\/span>brand-name<\/span> drugs without a <\/span>brand name<\/span>\u2014they are marketed as generics by the company that makes the <\/span>brand-name<\/span> drug or another company approved by the <\/span>brand-name<\/span> manufacturer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Generics work the same as their <\/span>brand-name<\/span> counterparts and are often much more accessible, often costing <\/span>up to 85% less<\/span><\/a> than the <\/span>brand-name<\/span> versions. The <\/span>FDA<\/span> requires that generic manufacturers conduct bioequivalence studies to demonstrate that their generics are <\/span>bioequivalent<\/span><\/a> to the <\/span>brand-name<\/span> drug, meaning that taking the <\/span>generic <\/span>results in the same blood concentrations over the same period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although <\/span>Prasco<\/span><\/a>\u2019s authorized generic <\/span>dapagliflozin<\/span> looks exactly like <\/span>brand-name<\/span> Farxiga<\/span>, generic products often differ in inactive ingredients, which can affect appearance and individual tolerances to the medications, as <\/span>more competition<\/span><\/a> enters the market, the prices for generics may also become lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Association for Accessible Medicines, <\/span>generic drugs<\/span> are very popular. In 2024, <\/span>90% of <\/span>prescription drugs<\/span><\/a> in the United States were filled with generic or <\/span>biosimilar drugs<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does generic Farxiga cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Without insurance, a one-month supply of 10 mg <\/span>brand-name<\/span> Farxiga<\/span> costs about $785. However, a <\/span>free SingleCare discount<\/span><\/a> can bring that price down. What\u2019s more, choosing generic <\/span>dapagliflozin<\/span> and using a SingleCare discount can bring the price down to around $405.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are the off-label uses for <\/span>Farxiga<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although some drugs used for <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span> are prescribed off-label for <\/span>Type 1 diabetes<\/span>, the prescribing information for <\/span>Farxiga<\/span> states that this medicine should not be used for <\/span>Type 1 diabetes<\/span>. This is because <\/span>Farxiga<\/span> significantly raises the risk of <\/span>diabetic ketoacidosis<\/span><\/a> (DKA, a condition where acids called <\/span>ketones<\/span> build up in the blood). DKA can be <\/span>life-threatening<\/span>, especially in people with <\/span>Type 1 diabetes<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Farxiga covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Farxiga is usually covered by commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid, especially when it’s dispensed as a generic. However, coverage can vary by plan. Many patients are still responsible for out-of-pocket costs, such as a copay or coinsurance amount. Consult your pharmacy or health insurance plan\u2019s formulary for more details on coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you get Farxiga covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If Farxiga isn\u2019t covered by insurance, your healthcare provider may need to submit prior authorization. In other words, they\u2019ll have to show documentation that Farxiga is medically necessary. In some cases, you may have to try other medications before insurance will cover Farxiga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Generic alternatives to Farxiga<\/span><\/h2>\n

Generic dapagliflozin usually costs less than brand-name Farxiga, but it may not always be the best option. <\/span>Alternatives to Farxiga<\/span><\/a> may be preferred based on cost and a person\u2019s overall condition or medical history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to <\/span>FDA<\/span>-approved uses, <\/span>healthcare providers<\/span> sometimes prescribe medications for <\/span>off-label<\/span><\/a> (non-<\/span>FDA<\/span>-approved) uses. <\/span>Farxiga<\/span> (or generic <\/span>dapagliflozin<\/span>) may be prescribed\u2014typically along with another medication, such as a <\/span>GLP-1 agonist<\/span><\/a>\u2014off-label for <\/span>weight loss<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
