There are some who think that Farxiga a relative new drug would be helpful with some Amyloidosis concerns. Any doctor care to comment? The cost of Farxiga is high but a Co-Pay is available to help with the cost if you have commercial insurance.

Hi Jim
I used Farxiga as a substitute for Jardiance last October-December, thinking it would be significantly lower cost. Turned out that it was only pennies lower than Jardiance, so I went back to Jardiance. . I am taking Jardiance because I am border line typo II diabetic. Good luck to you Jim. Vern.

It's recommended to discuss any new medication options, including Farxiga, with a healthcare provider who specializes in amyloidosis treatment, as some heart medications that work for other conditions may not be appropriate for people with amyloidosis.
