Frequently asked questions
Brenzavvy® (Bexagliflozin) is an SGLT2 Inhibitor, meaning it blocks a specific transporter in the kidneys that would otherwise pull glucose back into the bloodstream.3 With that transporter blocked, more glucose passes out through urine instead of staying in circulation, which is how it supports lower blood sugar and why it’s FDA-approved for adults with type 2 diabetes.2
Brenzavvy® is a once-daily tablet, taken in the morning with or without food, according to your provider’s guidance. It’s not automatically the right fit for everyone, kidney function plays a role in whether it’s appropriate, so your provider reviews your labs before prescribing.
The most common side effects are genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and increased urination, since the medication’s mechanism means more sugar, and more fluid, passing through the urinary tract than usual.2 Less common but more serious risks include dehydration, low blood sugar (especially when combined with insulin or certain other diabetes medications), and rare but serious complications like ketoacidosis. It’s not recommended for anyone with significantly reduced kidney function, and your provider screens for these risk factors before prescribing. See the full safety information below for the complete list.
Brenzavvy® is taken once-daily in the morning, with or without food, according to your provider-guided schedule. If prescribed, a US-licensed medical provider will provide specific treatment instructions with your care plan.
Important safety information and common side effects
The most common side effects of SGLT2 Inhibitors include increased urination, dehydration, hypotension (low blood pressure), dizziness, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and genital mycotic infections (yeast infections). Increased urination is a normal side effect of SGLT2 Inhibitors and not cause for concern.
UTIs and yeast infections are among the most frequently reported side effects of SGLT2 Inhibitors. To reduce the risk of these and other side effects, drink plenty of water throughout the day (around 0.5 to 1 gallon) and follow proper genital hygiene practices. If you experience a UTI or yeast infection, you must seek treatment with your primary healthcare provider or a local urgent care clinic.
If you notice side effects other than increased urination, it’s okay to stop taking the medication until side effects clear—usually after a few days and up to a few weeks. Always let your provider know if you stop your medication so they can adjust your upcoming refills if necessary.
Serious side effects include euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA), Fournier’s gangrene, and acute kidney injury. These side effects typically occur in patients with diabetes or compromised kidney function. Please tell your provider if you or anyone in your family has diabetes or compromised kidney function, or any other medical condition. AgelessRx does not manage or treat diabetes.
The above is not an exhaustive list. Please review Mayo Clinic’s resources for Brenzavvy® (Bexagliflozin).
Brenzavvy® (Bexagliflozin) should not be used by anyone taking insulin, sulfonylureas (Amaryl, Glucatrol, Micronase, etc.), or digoxin (Digox, Lanoxin).
Brenzavvy® should not be taken by anyone with the following conditions:
- Type 1 diabetes
- History of diabetic ketoacidosis
- Severe peripheral vascular disease
- History of amputation
- History of pancreatic impairment
- Active cancer
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
Your provider may ask you for additional information if you have one of the following conditions:
- Types 2 diabetes
- Renal impairment
- High AST/ALT ratio
- Abnormally high or low blood pressure
- Low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet
Though rare, allergic reactions to Brenzavvy® (Bexagliflozin) are still possible. If you notice any shortness of breath or swelling around your face, tongue, or throat after using Brenzavvy®, stop use and contact emergency services right away.
As with any medication, the dose prescribed is for you and you alone. Do not, under any circumstances, allow anyone else to use your Brenzavvy® prescription.

What is Brenzavvy®?
(bren-ZA-vee)A once-daily SGLT2 Inhibitor that may help the body release 50–80g of glucose through urine each day—about the same amount of sugar found in two cans of soda.3 4
By mimicking the metabolic effects of caloric restriction, Brenzavvy® may influence nutrient-sensing pathways that support broader healthy-aging outcomes across heart, kidney, liver, cognitive, and metabolic health.1
Removes up to 50-80g of glucose daily—the equivalent of two cans of soda.

The science of Brenzavvy®
SGLT2 Inhibitors started as blood sugar treatments. Today, researchers rank them among the leading longevity medicine candidates in geroscience because they may recreate some of the metabolic effects of caloric restriction while influencing nutrient sensing, inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, autophagy, and cellular aging.1 12
SGLT2 Inhibitors have shown to extend lifespan in male mice, while research across the class has found meaningful heart and kidney benefits in certain human populations and explored potential effects on brain health and senescent “zombie” cells.1 5 7 10

Frequently asked questions
Both Invokana® and Brenzavvy® are SGLT2 Inhibitors that work the same way. The primary difference is that Invokana® has an extended range of FDA-approved uses: while Brenzavvy® is the newest SGLT2 Inhibitor that is FDA approved for type 2 diabetes, Invokana® is approved for type 2 diabetes and to reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease.13
Invokana® has also been patented since 2013, with a wealth of scientific studies to support its extended uses. Though Brenzavvy® is a relatively new SGLT2 Inhibitor (FDA approved in 2023), it still shares the same mechanism of action and may show similar longevity benefits as research continues.
While Brenzavvy® has only been FDA approved since 2023, Invokana® has been patented since 2013, with a wealth of scientific studies to support its extended uses, which may explain its higher price.
AgelessRx provides Invokana® and Brenzavvy® at a competitive price according to what our pharmacy partners can source from the manufacturer. AgelessRx does not accept insurance for Invokana® or Brenzavvy® and does not treat or manage type 2 diabetes or any other FDA-approved condition for SGLT2 Inhibitors.
Invokana® (Canagliflozin) and Brenzavvy® (Bexagliflozin) are both oral medications, taken by mouth once per day. Simply swallow each dose with a glass of water. Both should be taken in the morning, before the first meal of the day.
Since Brenzavvy® works on blood sugar and glucose excretion, results may mostly show up in lab work before they show up in how you feel day to day. Blood sugar improvements are often seen within the first few weeks of consistent use, while any changes in weight tend to build more gradually over months, in line with how the calorie deficit adds up over time. Your provider can adjust your plan based on how you respond.
