Is forxiga same as farxiga?

Are Forxiga and Farxiga the same medicine?

Yes. Forxiga and Farxiga refer to the same drug: dapagliflozin, an oral medication used to treat conditions such as type 2 diabetes and certain heart/kidney diseases. The difference in spelling is due to branding and/or transcription/typographical variation, not different active ingredients.

What’s the active ingredient in each name?

Both names point to the same active ingredient: dapagliflozin.

How can I confirm I’m getting the right product?

Check the label for the generic name “dapagliflozin” (or the medication ingredient section). If the active ingredient is dapagliflozin, it’s the same medicine regardless of whether the brand is written as “Forxiga” or “Farxiga.”

Could they be different drugs in some countries?

Brand names vary by country, but when people write “Forxiga” and “Farxiga” they’re typically referring to dapagliflozin. If you’re unsure, the safest check is the active ingredient on the prescription or medication packaging.

When you should contact a pharmacist

If your prescription says one name but the pharmacy dispenses another spelling, ask the pharmacist to confirm the active ingredient is dapagliflozin and to explain any substitution rules.
