Best alternatives to Farxiga

If Farxiga (dapagliflozin) isn’t right for you, there are several other SGLT2 inhibitors approved for managing type 2 diabetes and related conditions. These medications work similarly by helping your kidneys remove excess sugar through urine and often offer added heart and kidney protection.

• Jardiance (empagliflozin): A leading alternative to Farxiga, Jardiance is also used to treat heart failure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes.
• Invokana (canagliflozin): Known for its added benefits for kidney disease in people with diabetes, Invokana can help protect long-term kidney function.
• Steglatro (ertugliflozin): A newer SGLT2 inhibitor option that helps improve blood sugar control and is taken once daily.

Talk to your healthcare provider to see which option is best for your needs. All of these alternatives are available through Canada Med Pharmacy with a valid prescription.
