What is the current price of dapagliflozin?
Dapagliflozin (brand names include Farxiga; and in some countries, Xigduo for the combination with metformin) pricing depends heavily on the country, the exact product/strength, and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance/discount programs. Because prices vary by payer and location, the most reliable way to check the latest out-of-pocket cost is to look up the specific product in your local pharmacy system or a current pricing database.
Is dapagliflozin cheaper as a generic?
In markets where dapagliflozin is available as a generic, it is typically less expensive than the branded product, especially for patients paying without insurance. The exact savings depend on your pharmacy, negotiated discounts, and whether your plan covers the generic.
How do insurance and copays affect what patients pay?
Even when the drug’s list price is high, a patient’s actual cost is often determined by:
- whether dapagliflozin is on formulary (preferred vs non-preferred)
- deductible status
- copay/coinsurance tier
- whether the prescription requires prior authorization
- whether the prescription is billed as a covered medical benefit or pharmacy benefit (varies by plan)

Does patent status change dapagliflozin price?
When patents or exclusivity end in a given market, generic or authorized alternatives may enter, usually putting downward pressure on price. If you want, tell me your country (and whether it’s Farxiga or Xigduo), and I can help you narrow down what to check next based on whether the product is branded, generic, or combination.
What I need from you to give a usable price range
If you share:
1) your country (and state/province if relevant),
2) which exact product (Farxiga vs Xigduo vs another),
3) dosage/strength (for example 5 mg or 10 mg), and
4) whether you want cash price or insured copay,
I can help you figure out where pricing is likely to land and what sources to use to confirm the latest number.
