In brief
Forxiga, the AstraZeneca-sponsored dapagliflozin brand in Australia, is used by adults to lower blood glucose in type 2 diabetes, to reduce hospital admissions for heart failure and to slow the progression of kidney disease.
Dapagliflozin for adults with type 2 diabetes, heart failure or kidney disease
In the AstraZeneca leaflet for Forxiga, dapagliflozin has a role in three adult conditions. People with type 2 diabetes take it to bring blood sugar down. In heart failure it is used to reduce the number of times a person ends up in hospital, and in kidney disease it helps the condition progress more slowly.
This listing shows dapagliflozin 5 mg and 10 mg. It does not name the manufacturer of the product supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.

AstraZeneca as local sponsor, a May 2026 leaflet, and Farxiga overseas
Forxiga is sponsored in Australia by AstraZeneca Pty Ltd, and its consumer leaflet carries a May 2026 revision date. The leaflet describes a 10 mg tablet with a film coating; a 5 mg form is not described in it. Farxiga is the name under which dapagliflozin is sold in other markets.
Type 1 diabetes and an allergy to any ingredient, lactose included, rule Forxiga out
Forxiga is not to be used in type 1 diabetes. It also should not be taken by someone allergic to dapagliflozin or to any other ingredient, and lactose is one of those ingredients.
Ketoacidosis during fasting or illness, fluid loss, and stopping before surgery
Diabetic ketoacidosis, particularly during fasting or illness, is among the leaflet’s warnings, together with dehydration. Before an operation, the leaflet says Forxiga is stopped in agreement with your doctor.
Urinary and genital infections, and the rare perineal infection to know about
Its cautions also cover urinary tract and genital infections. It also names a rare but serious one, necrotising fasciitis of the perineum, also called Fournier’s gangrene.
From headache and a sore back to ketoacidosis: Forxiga reactions
Headache, a sore back and irritation in the genital area are the frequent side effects the leaflet records. Allergic reactions, infections, ketoacidosis, marked dehydration and low blood sugar are on its serious list; low blood sugar is a concern when dapagliflozin is combined with other diabetes medicines.
Dapagliflozin and a possible fall in blood lithium
Lithium is the interacting medicine the leaflet highlights, because blood lithium levels may fall while dapagliflozin is being taken.
Leave the tablets in their blister, cooler than 30 °C and dry
According to the leaflet, Forxiga tablets stay in the blister pack, below 30 °C and away from heat and moisture. Follow the storage directions on the pack you receive.
