Farxiga is a prescription medication primarily approved to treat type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. It works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine, which may result in modest weight loss for some patients. While weight loss is not its primary indication, some healthcare providers consider Farxiga’s metabolic effects when treating patients with diabetes-related weight concerns. Any use for weight loss should be medically supervised. Patients should discuss potential benefits, side effects, and risks with their provider before starting Farxiga.
