Short answer: The Farxiga label says to take a missed dose as soon as possible and not to double the next one. The Medication Guide adds: if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next at the regular time. Do not take 2 doses of Farxiga at the same time.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Once daily, 5 mg or 10 mg depending on use (2.2, 2.3) |
| Missed a dose | Take it as soon as possible (2.5) |
| Almost time for the next dose | Skip the missed dose (Medication Guide) |
| Doubling up | Do not double the next dose (2.5) |
| Half-life | About 12.9 hours (12.3) |
Section 2.5 says that if a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible, and do not double up the next dose. The Medication Guide says the same and adds that if it is almost time for your next dose, you skip the missed one.
Example: you take Farxiga with breakfast and remember after dinner. Under the label you would take it then. If you only notice the next morning at your usual time, you take one tablet, not two.
No. Farxiga is used for type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease, at 5 mg or 10 mg once daily (sections 2.2 and 2.3). The missed-dose rule in section 2.5 is the same for all of them.
Dapagliflozin has a mean terminal half-life of about 12.9 hours after a 10 mg dose (section 12.3). The label does not give a rule for several missed days, so ask your prescriber about a longer gap.
