What’s the typical retail price of dapagliflozin (brand Farxiga)?
Dapagliflozin is sold in the U.S. under the brand name Farxiga, and its out-of-pocket price can vary a lot by dose (for example, 5 mg vs. 10 mg), the pharmacy, and whether you have insurance or coupons. Public pricing often depends on the specific product strength and the size of the prescription fill, so a single “one price” number usually won’t match what people see at checkout.
How much does it cost with insurance vs. without insurance?
With insurance, the cost is commonly a copay (which can be low for many people) rather than the full cash price. Without insurance, people usually pay the full list price, which is often much higher and can change based on current pharmacy promotions.

What affects the price most (so your number makes sense)?
The price you see for dapagliflozin often comes down to:
- Dose and pill strength (e.g., 5 mg vs. 10 mg)
- Pharmacy and location
- Days’ supply (30 vs. 90 days)
- Insurance formulary tier and prior authorization rules
- Manufacturer or pharmacy coupon availability
Can I switch to a cheaper alternative (generic) if it’s available?
If a generic for dapagliflozin is available in your country and your pharmacy carries it, that can reduce the cost versus Farxiga. If you tell me your country, dose (5 mg or 10 mg), and whether you want cash price or estimated copay with insurance, I can help you narrow down what number you should expect to see.
