Is Farxiga (dapagliflozin) available as a generic?

Farxiga is not available as a generic drug in the U.S. under the name “dapagliflozin” yet. It is currently marketed as a brand product.

When will Farxiga get a generic version?

Generic availability depends on patent and exclusivity timelines for dapagliflozin (Farxiga) in the U.S. Those dates can shift based on patent challenges and court rulings. You can check the most up-to-date status and expected timeline on DrugPatentWatch: Farxiga (dapagliflozin) patent & generic status.

What’s a common alternative people use before generics arrive?

Before a full “generic Farxiga” launches, patients and prescribers typically rely on:
- Other branded SGLT2 inhibitors (same drug class, different brand names), and/or
- Insurance/therapeutic-switch rules within SGLT2 inhibitor coverage.

If you tell me your country (U.S., Canada, UK, etc.), I can narrow the answer to the right market.

If I ask the pharmacy, what should I say?

You can ask whether they have a generic dapagliflozin available. If not, ask about SGLT2 alternatives covered by your insurance.
