@overage SGLT2 inhibitors are a primary treatment for CKD. Allowing glucose to flow increases efficiency of kidneys filtering other items. Dapagliflozin went generic in USA this year; 3 months is less than $30 generic and is $105 brand. Competing SGLT2s are still expensive. I had anemia but levels slowly increased after I was off Orgovyx.

@jim18 @jim18 I obtained the price for Dapagliflozin from the Amazon Pharmacy web page which has a price of $539.70 for the generic and over $700 for the brand name Farxiga. I now checked my insurance plan web site and found the my cost in the United States would be $7.50 for a 30 day supply from an in-network pharmacy. The $7.50 cost would indicate that the price of the drug is about $25 to $30. Also I found that the generic does not require prior approval, but Farxiga does. Sorry if I had misleading information.
You say in your post that since you discontinued Orgovyx your hemoglobin is slowly rising. Is your testosterone also rising. Testosterone stimulates the kidney to make sufficient erythropoietin that will then stimulate the bone marrow to make bed blood cells. Complicated process.
As a side benefit of the Dagagilflozin I am hoping to have better control of my glucose levels which fluctuate into the pre-diabetic now and then.
