It was approved again for use to reduce cardiovascular death in people with type 2 diabetes in 2016, and most recently in 2021 to treat patients with heart failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jardiance is an oral medication taken in either 10-milligram or 25-milligram dosages in the morning, with or without food. The manufacturer of Jardiance is Boehringer Ingelheim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-farxiga\">What is Farxiga?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Farxiga is the brand name for dapagliflozin, an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Other brand names can include Forxiga, among others. The manufacturer of Farxiga is AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Jardiance, Farxiga is an SGLT2 inhibitor and works by reducing the amount of glucose excreted in your urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Jardiance, Farxiga got its initial US FDA approval in 2014, followed by another approval in 2019 to help reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure among patients with type 2 diabetes, and yet again in 2021 to treat chronic kidney disease in patients with and without diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical starting dose for Farxiga is 5 milligrams daily, which can be increased to a maximum dose of 10 milligrams per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-jardiance-and-farxiga-the-same\">Are Jardiance and Farxiga the same?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jardiance and Farxiga are in the same medication class, but they aren\u2019t the same. Jardiance\u2019s drug name is empagliflozin and Farxiga\u2019s drug name is dapagliflozin, so they have different active ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they are in the same medication class, Jardiance and Farxiga have similar side effects, risks, and methods of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-farxiga-vs-jardiance\">Farxiga vs Jardiance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The below sections compare Farxiga vs Jardiance, including their effectiveness, uses, benefits, side effects and risks, and cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-effectiveness\">Effectiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-farxiga\">Farxiga<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Farxiga has been shown to lower hemoglobin A1c levels by <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25436106\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">0.5-0.7%<\/a> and is effective when used on its own or in combination with other diabetes medications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astrazeneca-us.com\/media\/press-releases\/2022\/new-data-show-farxiga-significantly-lowers-the-risk-of-cardiovascular-death-in-patients-with-heart-failure.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">study,<\/a> Farxiga reduced the risk of cardiovascular death by 14% and reduced hospitalization for heart failure by 29%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2660449\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">study<\/a> showed that Farxiga resulted in an average weight loss of 1.3-2 kilograms (2.86-4.4 pounds) over 12 weeks compared to a placebo and a reduction in A1c of 0.55-0.90%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jardiance\">Jardiance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24766495\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">meta-analysis<\/a> of ten randomized control trials, participants taking Jardiance at 25 milligrams daily (the highest dose) had similar outcomes compared to metformin, one of the most popular oral medications for type 2 diabetes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much does Jardiance lower blood sugar?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to that meta-analysis, average reductions in A1c when taking Jardiance were around 0.65%, while another <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27296042\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">study<\/a> cited a range in A1c reduction between 0.59-0.82% from taking Jardiance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(You might develop low blood sugar if you\u2019re taking Jardiance along with insulin or a sulfonylurea.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jardiance might also help you lose weight, which can further help lower blood sugar levels. It also appears to have beneficial effects on blood pressure levels, which is a benefit considering many people with diabetes are at greater risk of having high blood pressure or heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26873905\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">review of studies<\/a>, participants taking Jardiance lost a \u201csignificant\u201d amount of weight compared to the placebo; the amount of weight loss ranged from 1.7-1.9 kilograms (3.74-4.18 pounds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uses\">Uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-farxiga-0\">Farxiga<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can be used in people aged 18 and older.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can be used as a single therapy to treat diabetes if <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/signs-metformin-is-not-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">metformin<\/a> isn\u2019t tolerated, as well as an add-on therapy (taking Farxiga in addition to another medication you\u2019ve already been taking).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not meant to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/recover-from-diabetic-ketoacidosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">treat diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)<\/a> and might cause DKA in rare cases.
