AstraZeneca’s 10 mg Forxiga and the overseas Farxiga label
AstraZeneca Pty Ltd sponsors Forxiga in Australia, and its leaflet, revised in May 2026, covers a film-coated 10 mg tablet; a 5 mg form is not described there. In other markets the same medicine, dapagliflozin, is sold under the name Farxiga. These brand details belong to Forxiga and are not a statement about the product supplied here.
Lactose or dapagliflozin allergy and the type 1 diabetes restriction
The leaflet says Forxiga is not taken by anyone allergic to dapagliflozin or to any tablet ingredient, lactose included. It is also not meant for people with type 1 diabetes.
Ketoacidosis while fasting or unwell, and pausing before surgery
The leaflet warns of diabetic ketoacidosis, noting a higher risk during fasting or illness. Before an operation, the tablets are stopped only as agreed with the doctor. Dehydration is another concern raised in the leaflet.
Fournier’s gangrene and other infections linked to dapagliflozin
Infections of the genitals and of the urinary tract are flagged in the leaflet. It also mentions a rare necrotising infection of the area between the genitals and the anus, known as Fournier’s gangrene.
Back pain, low blood sugar and lithium: reactions and one interaction
Genital irritation, backache and headache are the frequent effects named for Forxiga. More serious problems listed are allergic reactions, hypoglycaemia when it is combined with other diabetes medicines, severe dehydration, infections and ketoacidosis. On interactions, the leaflet notes that dapagliflozin can lower lithium levels.
Keeping dapagliflozin in its blister, away from damp and heat
According to the leaflet, Forxiga tablets are kept in their blister at below 30 °C, clear of moisture and heat. Follow the storage directions on the pack you receive.
