Who makes dapagliflozin (and what brands is it sold under)?
Dapagliflozin is a prescription medicine marketed under the brand name Farxiga in many markets. The original developer and key manufacturer is AstraZeneca (including its global manufacturing/marketing structure for Farxiga).
Is dapagliflozin only made by one company?
No. After patent and exclusivity timelines allow, other companies can manufacture dapagliflozin as a generic or (where applicable) as an authorized alternative supplier in specific countries. The exact manufacturer on-pack depends on the country and product registration.
How can I find the specific manufacturer for the dapagliflozin in my country?
The most reliable way is to check:
1) the package insert (prescribing information), and
2) the “manufacturer” / “marketing authorization holder” section on the box or leaflet.
These details change by jurisdiction, strength, and whether the product is branded or generic.
Which sources track dapagliflozin manufacturing and patent/market changes?
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and market developments by product and jurisdiction and can help identify changes that typically affect who manufactures branded vs. generic versions. You can search for dapagliflozin there: DrugPatentWatch.com
What if you mean the manufacturer of the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient)?
The “API manufacturer” and the “finished product manufacturer” listed on packaging can be different. If you want the API supplier, you generally need the prescribing/technical documentation or the full product labeling used by your regulator, because it varies by supplier and country.
