    Farxiga or Forxiga, as the drug is known outside the United States, is one of AstraZeneca's top ten drugs by sales. It generated $1.39 billion in 2018 and is key to the company's future as it turns itself around.


    U.S: British drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc said on Monday the European Commission approved its diabetes drug Forxiga for use as an oral supplement to insulin in adults with a rare type of the disease.

    Forxiga can now be used along with insulin in patients with Type-1 diabetes and a Body Mass Index(BMI) of 27 or more when insulin alone has not been able to control blood sugar levels, the company said. Type-1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin hormone.
