When did generic dapagliflozin become available?
The exact first-availability date can vary by strength and manufacturer, but the shift to generic dapagliflozin in the U.S. followed Farxiga’s patent/exclusivity timeline.

What should I look for on the prescription or label?
Generic versions will list dapagliflozin (not “Farxiga”) as the active ingredient. Depending on the pharmacy, you may see a generic brand name from the manufacturer, but the drug substance should be dapagliflozin.
Are all Farxiga strengths available as generics?
Usually most common strengths become available around generic launch, but availability can differ by dose and pharmacy stock. Checking your specific strength (e.g., 5 mg, 10 mg) is the quickest way to confirm what’s currently being dispensed.
