Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 51407-918-90 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 51407-0918-90. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Bexagliflozin is used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes (condition in which blood sugar is too high because the body does not produce or use insulin normally). Bexagliflozin is in a class of medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It works by lowering blood sugar by causing the kidneys to get rid of more glucose in the urine. Bexagliflozin is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Over time, peopl...

Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Oct 2041. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Jan 20, 2023 RLD RS ⏳ ~15 yr to latest listed protection

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of BEXAGLIFLOZIN 20 MG TABLET?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for BEXAGLIFLOZIN 20 MG TABLET. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Oct 2041 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Other Ketoacidosis: Consider ketone monitoring in patients at risk for ketoacidosis, as indicated. Assess for ketoacidosis regardless of presenting blood glucose levels and discontinue bexagliflozin tabletsif ketoacidosis is suspected. Monitor patients for resolution of ketoacidosis before restarting.

( 5.1 ) Lower limb amputation: Monitor patients for infections or ulcers of the lower limbs and institute appropriate treatment. ( 5.2 ) . Volume depletion: May result in acute kidney injury.

Before initiating bexagliflozin tablets, assess and correct volume status in patients with impaired renal function or low systolic blood pressure, elderly patients or patients on diuretics. Monitor for signs and symptoms during therapy. ( 5.3 ) Genitourinary Infections, including Urosepsis, Pyelonephritis, Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene), and Genital Mycotic Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of genitourinary infections and treat promptly, if indicated.

Immediately evaluate patients presenting with pain or tenderness, erythema, or swelling in the genital or perineal area, along with fever or malaise, for necrotizing fasciitis and if suspected, discontinue bexagliflozin tablets, and promptly institute appropriate medical and/or surgical intervention. ( 5.4 ) Hypoglycemia: Consider a lower dose of insulin or insulin secretagogue to reduce risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with bexagliflozin tablets. ( 5.5 )

5.1Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Other Ketoacidosis In patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, bexagliflozin tablets significantly increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening event, beyond background rate. In placebo-controlled trials of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the risk of ketoacidosis was markedly increased in patients who received sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors compared to patients who received placebo. Bexagliflozin tablets are not indicated for glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and pancreatic disorders (e.g., history of pancreatitis or pancreatic surgery) are also risk factors for ketoacidosis. There have been postmarketing reports of fatal events of ketoacidosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using SGLT2 inhibitors. Precipitating conditions for diabetic ketoacidosis or other ketoacidosis include under-insulinization due to insulin dose reduction or missed insulin doses, acute febrile illness, reduced caloric intake, ketogenic diet, surgery, volume depletion, and alcohol abuse.

Signs and symptoms are consistent with dehydration and severe metabolic acidosis and include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, generalized malaise, and shortness of breath. Blood glucose levels at presentation may be below those typically expected for diabetic ketoacidosis (e.g., less than 250 mg/dL). Ketoacidosis and glucosuria may persist longer than typically expected.

Urinary glucose excretion persists for 3 days after discontinuing bexagliflozin tablets [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] ; however, there have been postmarketing reports of ketoacidosis and/or glucosuria lasting greater than 6 days and some up to 2 weeks after discontinuation of SGLT2 inhibitors. Consider ketone monitoring in patients at risk for ketoacidosis if indicated by the clinical situation. Assess for ketoacidosis regardless of presenting blood glucose levels in patients who present with signs and symptoms consistent with severe metabolic acidosis.

If ketoacidosis is suspected, discontinue bexagliflozin tablets, promptly evaluate, and treat ketoacidosis, if confirmed. Monitor patients for resolution of ketoacidosis before restarting bexagliflozin tablets. Withhold bexagliflozin tablets, if possible, in temporary clinical situations that could predispose patients to ketoacidosis.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Pool of Placebo-Controlled Trials Evaluating Bexagliflozin Tablets, 20 m g The data in Table 1 are derived from three trials in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: two 24-week placebo-controlled trials (one as monotherapy and another as add-on to metformin therapy; Trials 1 and 2, respectively) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 , 14.3 )] and a 12-week, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, monotherapy trial (only the data from the 20 mg dosage of bexagliflozin tablets per day were included in this pool).

In these pooled trials, patients received placebo (N = 300) or bexagliflozin 20 mg (N = 372), once daily. The mean age of the population was 56 years and 5% of the patients were older than 75 years of age. Fifty-seven percent (57%) were male and 45% were White, 38% Asian, 15% Black and 2% other races.

At baseline, the mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 7.7 years and the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was 8.2%. Established microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus at baseline included diabetic nephropathy (0.8%), retinopathy (24%), and peripheral neuropathy (33%). Baseline renal function was eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 98% of patients and eGFR 45 to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 2% of patients (mean eGFR 92 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ).

Table 1 shows common adverse reactions associated with the use of bexagliflozin tablets in these trials. These adverse reactions occurred more commonly in bexagliflozin-treated patients than placebo-treated patients, and occurred in at least 2% of bexagliflozin-treated patients. Table 1.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS See Table 4 for clinically significant interactions with bexagliflozin tablets. Table 4. Clinically Significant Interactions with Bexagliflozin Tablets UGT Enzyme Inducers Clinical Impact UGT Enzyme Inducers may significantly reduce exposure to bexagliflozin and lead to a decreased efficacy [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].

Intervention Consider adding another antihyperglycemic agent in patients who require additional glycemic control. Concomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues Clinical Impact The risk of hypoglycemia is increased when bexagliflozin tablets are used in combination with insulin and/or an insulin secretagogue. Intervention A lower dose of insulin or insulin secretagogue may be required to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with bexagliflozin tablets.

Lithium Clinical Impact Concomitant use with SGLT2 inhibitors such as bexagliflozin tablets may decrease serum lithium concentrations. Intervention Monitor serum lithium concentration more frequently upon bexagliflozin tablets initiation and discontinuation. Positive Urine Glucose Test Clinical Impact SGLT2 inhibitors increase urinary glucose excretion and will lead to positive urine glucose tests.

Intervention Monitoring glycemic control with urine glucose tests is not recommended in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Use alternative methods to monitor glycemic control. Interference with 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) Assay Clinical Impact Measurements of 1,5-AG are unreliable in assessing glycemic control in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors.

Intervention Monitoring glycemic control with 1,5-AG assay is not recommended. Use alternative methods to monitor glycemic control.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Advise females of the potential risk to a fetus especially during the second and third trimesters. Bexagliflozin tablets are not recommended during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. ( 8.1 ) Lactation: Not recommended when breastfeeding.

( 8.2 ) Geriatric patients: Higher incidence of adverse reactions related to volume depletion. ( 5.3 , 8.5 ) Renal Impairment: Higher incidence of adverse reactions related to reduced renal function. ( 5.3 , 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment: Not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment.

( 8.7 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data showing adverse renal effects, bexagliflozin is not recommended during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The available data on use of bexagliflozin tablets during pregnancy are insufficient to determine a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) .

In animal studies, adverse renal pelvic and tubule dilatations that were not fully reversible were observed in rats when bexagliflozin was administered during a period of renal development corresponding to the late second and third trimesters of human pregnancy at exposures 11 times the 20 mg clinical dose (see Data ) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects is 6% to 10% in women with pre-gestational diabetes with a peri-conceptional HbA1c > 7% and has been reported to be as high as 20% to 25% in women with a peri-conceptional HbA1c > 10%.

The estimated background risk of miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia occur more frequently during pregnancy in patients with pre-gestational diabetes.

Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, preeclampsia, spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, and delivery complications. Poorly controlled diabetes increases the fetal risk for major birth defects, stillbirth, and macrosomia related morbidity. Data Animal Data Bexagliflozin administered to juvenile rats at 0.3, 3 or 30 mg/kg/day by oral gavage from postnatal days 21 to 90 caused a dose dependent increase in the incidence and severity of renal pelvic and tubular dilatation at ≥ 3 mg/kg (11 times the clinical dose of 20 mg based on AUC).

These outcomes occurred with drug exposure during periods of renal development in rats equivalent to the late second and third trimester of human renal development and did not fully reverse following a 1-month recovery period. In embryofetal development studies in rats and rabbits, bexagliflozin was administered at 7, 40, and 200 mg/kg/day (rats) and 5, 25, and 150 mg/kg/day (rabbits) during organogenesis. No adverse developmental effects were observed in rats at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (551 times the clinical dose of 20 mg based on AUC).

Reduced maternal body weight, embryo lethality, and fetal malformations were observed in rabbits at 150 mg/kg/day (368 times the clinical dose of 20 mg based on AUC). In a prenatal and postnatal development study, bexagliflozin was administered to maternal rats by oral gavage during organogenesis and until weaning at doses of 7, 40, or 200 mg/kg/day. Maternal mortality occurred at ≥ 40 mg/kg (79 times the clinical dose of 20 mg based on AUC), primarily following parturition.

Reduced gestational body weight, increased post-implantation loss, and smaller litter size were noted at 200 mg/kg (361 times the clinical dose of 20 mg based on AUC). In the offspring, lower body weight gain and decreased survival were noted at 200 mg/kg, which occur… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Bexagliflozin is an inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), the transporter responsible for reabsorption of the majority of glucose from the renal glomerular filtrate in the renal proximal tubule. By inhibiting SGLT2, bexagliflozin reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, and thereby increases urinary glucose excretion.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Urinary Glucose Excretion and Urinary Volume Dose-dependent increases in urinary glucose excretion (UGE) accompanied by increases in urine volume were observed in healthy subjects and in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus following single- and multiple-dose administration of bexagliflozin. Dose-response analysis indicates that 20 mg bexagliflozin provides near-maximal UGE. Elevated UGE was maintained after multiple-dose administration.

Cardiac Electrophysiology At 5 times the recommended dose, bexagliflozin does not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically significant extent.

12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of bexagliflozin are similar in healthy subjects and adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Following dosing in the fasted state, mean C max and AUC 0-∞ were 134 ng/mL and 1,162 ng·h/mL, respectively. Bexagliflozin does not exhibit time-dependent pharmacokinetics and accumulates in plasma up to ~20% following multiple dosing.

Absorption Following oral administration of bexagliflozin tablets, peak plasma concentrations of bexagliflozin were reached between 2 – 4 hours post-dose and can be delayed if taken after a meal or by medications that slow gastric emptying. Plasma C max and AUC of bexagliflozin increase in a dose-proportional manner following single doses from 3 mg (0.15 times the recommended dose) to 90 mg (4.5 times the recommended dose). Effect of Food Administration of bexagliflozin tablets after consumption of a standard high-fat, high-caloric meal increased C max and AUC by 31% and 10%, respectively, compared to dosing in the fasted state.

The median T max was increased to 5 hours. The effects of food on bexagliflozin pharmacokinetics are not considered clinically relevant [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . Distribution Bexagliflozin is approximately 93% bound to plasma protein.

Neither renal nor hepatic impairment substantially alters protein binding. The apparent volume of distribution is 262 L. Elimination Metabolism Bexagliflozin is mainly metabolized by UGT1A9 and, to a lesser extent, CYP3A.

In plasma the most abundant metabolite is the pharmacologically inactive 3′- O -glucuronide, which was found to constitute 32.2% of the parent compound AUC in a radiolabeled tracer study. None of the metabolites are expected to have clinically relevant pharmacological effects. Excretion The apparent oral clearance of bexagliflozin is

19.1L/h by population pharmacokinetic modeling. The apparent terminal elimination half-life of bexagliflozin was approximately 12 hours. Following administration of an oral [ 14 C]-bexagliflozin solution to healthy subjects, 91.6% of input radioactivity was recovered, 51.1% in feces, the majority as bexagliflozin, and 40.5% in urine, largely as the 3′- O -glucuronide.

The proportion of input radioactivity recovered as bexagliflozin in urine and feces was 1.5% and 28.7%, respectively Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment In a clinical pharmacology study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild (eGFR 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), moderate (eGFR 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), and severe (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) renal impairment, the AUC of bexagliflozin was 7%, 34% and 54% greater than in patients with normal renal function, respectively, after administration of a single 20 mg dose of bexagliflozin.

These increases in bexagliflozin AUC are not considered clinically meaningful. Consistent with the mechanism of action of bexagliflozin, the 24-hour UGE in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus an… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

MEDGUIDE SECTION MEDICATION GUIDE Bexagliflozin (bex” a gli floe’ zin) Tablets for oral use What is the most important information I should know about bexagliflozin tablets? Bexagliflozin tablets can cause serious side effects, including: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (increased ketones in your blood or urine) in people with type 1 diabetes and other ketoacidosis. Bexagliflozin tablets can cause ketoacidosis that can be life-threatening and may lead to death.

Ketoacidosis is a serious condition which needs to be treated in a hospital. People with type 1 diabetes have a high risk of getting ketoacidosis. People with type 2 diabetes or pancreas problems also have an increased risk of getting ketoacidosis.

Ketoacidosis can also happen in people who: are sick, cannot eat or drink as usual, skip meals, are on a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates (ketogenic diet), take less than the usual amount of insulin or miss insulin doses, drink too much alcohol, have a loss of too much fluid from the body (volume depletion), or who have surgery. Ketoacidosis can happen even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. Your healthcare provider may ask you to periodically check ketones in your urine or blood.

Stop taking bexagliflozin tablets and call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you get any of the following. If possible, check for ketones in your urine or blood, even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. ○ nausea ○ tiredness ○ vomiting ○ trouble breathing ○ stomach-area (abdominal) pain ○ ketones in your urine or blood Amputations. Bexagliflozin tablets may increase your risk of lower limb amputations.

You may be at a higher risk of lower limb amputation if you: have a history of amputation have had blocked or narrowed blood vessels, usually in your leg have damage to the nerves (neuropathy) in your leg have had diabetic foot ulcers or sores Call your healthcare provider right away if you have new pain or tenderness, any sores, ulcers, or infections in your leg or foot. Talk to your healthcare provider about proper foot care. Dehydration.

Bexagliflozin tablets can cause some people to become dehydrated (the loss of body water and salt). Dehydration can make you feel dizzy, faint, light-headed, or weak, especially when you stand up (orthostatic hypotension). There have been reports of sudden worsening of kidney function in people who are taking bexagliflozin tablets.

You may be at higher risk of dehydration if you: take medicines that lower your blood pressure, including diuretics (water pills) are on a low sodium (salt) diet have kidney problems are 65 years of age or older Talk to your healthcare provider about what you can do to prevent dehydration including how much fluid you should drink on a daily basis.Call your healthcare provider right away if you reduce the amount of food or liquid you drink, for example if you are sick or cannot eat, or start to lose liquids from your body, for example from vomiting or diarrhea.

You may also have a fever, back pain, nausea, or vomiting. Genital and urinary tract infections. Bexagliflozin tablets can cause serious infections in your genital area or urinary tract that could require hospitalization.

A rare but serious bacterial infection called necrotizing fasciitis can cause damage to the tissue under the skin in the area between and around the anus and genitals (perineum). This infection may require hospitalization, multiple surgeries, and could lead to death. Seek medical attention immediately if you have a fever or you are feeling very weak, tired or uncomfortable (malaise), and you develop any of the following symptoms in the area between and around your anus and genitals: o pain or tenderness o swelling o redness of skin (erythema) Also tell your healthcare provider if you have any of these signs or symptoms of urinary tract infections or yeast infections: Urinary tract infection : • burning feeling when you urinate • need to urinate often or right away • pain in… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

The proportion of input radioactivity recovered as bexagliflozin in urine and feces was 1.5% and 28.7%, respectively Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment In a clinical pharmacology study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild (eGFR 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), moderate (eGFR 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), and severe (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) renal impairment, the AUC of bexagliflozin was 7%, 34% and 54% greater than in patients with normal renal function, respectively, after administration of a single 20 mg dose of bexagliflozin.

These increases in bexagliflozin AUC are not considered clinically meaningful. Consistent with the mechanism of action of bexagliflozin, the 24-hour UGE in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment was 17%, 60%, and 83% lower than in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with normal renal function, respectively. Therefore, the glucose-lowering pharmacodynamic response to bexagliflozin declines with increasing severity of renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .

The impact of hemodialysis on bexagliflozin exposure is not known. Patients with Hepatic Impairment In patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B), the AUC of bexagliflozin increased by 28%, and C max increased by 6.3% compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. These increases in bexagliflozin AUC and C max are not considered clinically meaningful.

There is no clinical experience in patients with Child-Pugh class C (severe) hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )] Effects of Age, Body Weight, Sex, and Race Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis, age,… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Pharmacodynamics 78 words ▾

12.2Pharmacodynamics Urinary Glucose Excretion and Urinary Volume Dose-dependent increases in urinary glucose excretion (UGE) accompanied by increases in urine volume were observed in healthy subjects and in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus following single- and multiple-dose administration of bexagliflozin. Dose-response analysis indicates that 20 mg bexagliflozin provides near-maximal UGE. Elevated UGE was maintained after multiple-dose administration.

Cardiac Electrophysiology At 5 times the recommended dose, bexagliflozin does not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically significant extent.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1Overview of Clinical Trials Bexagliflozin has been studied as monotherapy (Trial 1) and in combination with metformin in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Trials 2, 3, and 4) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 and 14.3 )] . Bexagliflozin has also been studied in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus with moderate renal impairment (Trial 5) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.4 )] , and in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus with established CVD or at increased risk for CVD (Trial 6) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.5 )] . Treatment with bexagliflozin tablets reduced hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) compared to placebo and efficacy was noninferior to glimepiride (up-titrated to a maximum dose of 6 mg) and sitagliptin 100 mg once daily (see Trials 3 and 4).

The reduction in HbA1c by bexagliflozin tablets was shown across subgroups of age, sex, race, and geographic region.

14.2Glycemic Control in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Monotherapy (Trial 1) A total of 207 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled (HbA1c between 7% and 10.5%) by diet and exercise participated in a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, 24-week, placebo-controlled trial (NCT02715258; referred to as Trial 1) to evaluate the efficacy of bexagliflozin tablets monotherapy. Patients were either treatment naïve or had discontinued a single oral antihyperglycemic treatment ≥ 6 weeks prior to entering a 2-week, single-blind, placebo run-in period.

Upon completion of the run-in period they were randomized (1:2) to placebo or bexagliflozin 20 mg administered orally once daily. The mean age of the population was 55 years and 4% of the patients were older than 75 years of age. Forty-eight percent (48%) were male and 74% were White, 10% were Asian, 15% were Black and 1% were other races.

Fifty-two percent (52%) were Hispanic/Latino. At week 24, treatment with bexagliflozin tablets provided a statistically significant reduction in HbA1c compared to placebo (see Table 5 ). Table 5.

ANCOVA was used to analyze data using imputed values by return to baseline analysis for missing data at week 24 (9% and 7% for bexagliflozin and placebo, respectively). The ANCOVA model included treatment, country, background anti-diabetes treatment status (treatment naïve or not) and the baseline HbA1c value as a covariate. b Crude proportion using imputed HbA1c values for missing data at week 24 and averaged across multiply imputed datasets c Same model as for HbA1c endpoint but with baseline FPG instead of baseline HbA1c as a covariate.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis Carcinogenesis was evaluated in 2-year studies in CD-1 mice at oral gavage doses of 15, 50, and 150 mg/kg/day and in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg/day. In male rats, the dose was reduced to 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg/day at week 73 due to exacerbation of chronic progressive nephropathy resulting in excessive mortality. There were no drug-related neoplastic findings in mice or rats at up to the highest doses tested representing up to 156 times (mice) and 68 times (rats) the clinical dose of 20 mg based on AUC.

Mutagenesis Bexagliflozin was not mutagenic or clastogenic with or without metabolic activation in the in vitro Ames bacterial mutagenicity assay, the in vitro CHO cell assay, an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats, and an in vivo unscheduled hepatic DNA synthesis study in rats. Impairment of Fertility Bexagliflozin had no effects on mating, fertility or early embryonic development in male or female rats at any dose up to the highest dose of 200 mg/kg/day, which resulted in exposures 280 times (males) and 439 times (females) the 20 mg clinical dose (based on AUC).

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Golden State Medical Supply, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 30 tablets (51407-0918-30). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Golden State Medical Supply, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
