While Farxiga is not primarily intended as a weight loss medication, it has been observed to contribute to some weight loss in clinical studies. Individuals taking Farxiga alone, at doses of either 5 mg or 10 mg per day, experienced an average weight loss of approximately 6 pounds over 24 weeks. Similarly, studies have demonstrated that when Farxiga is used with metformin, another medication for type 2 diabetes, the average weight loss over 24 weeks ranges from 6 to 7 pounds.
