Is there a generic version of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) 10 mg?
Farxiga 10 mg is the brand name for dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor). Whether a true generic is available depends on the specific country’s approvals and which manufacturer’s product is authorized there.
If you tell me your country (for example, US, UK, Canada, India, etc.), I can narrow to what generic options are officially available in that market.
What generics (if any) should you look for?
A generic version of Farxiga would be marketed as “dapagliflozin” (usually with “10 mg” strength). In many markets, generics and authorized “brand” variations will list dapagliflozin as the active ingredient, even if the tablet appearance and name differ.
How to check if a “generic Farxiga” is legitimate
To avoid incorrect substitutions, check:
- The active ingredient is dapagliflozin
- The strength matches (10 mg)
- The product is approved/authorized by your local regulator or dispensed through standard pharmacy channels

Can you split the dose if you only find a different strength?
If you can’t find 10 mg tablets, another option in some places is dapagliflozin 5 mg tablets to reach a 10 mg dose. Whether tablets can be split safely depends on the specific formulation and your clinician’s instructions.
What matters clinically when switching from Farxiga to a generic?
For SGLT2 inhibitors like dapagliflozin, switching products is generally intended to keep the same dose and active ingredient. Still, talk with your prescriber if:
- You have kidney impairment or are at risk for dehydration
- You’re on diuretics, insulin, or other diabetes medicines (dose timing and hypoglycemia/volume status monitoring can matter)
- You had side effects on the brand you used previously
