Ozempic® generally receives a conditional subsidy
We are still awaiting the final announcement from LMST regarding changes to subsidy regulations, but it is already recommended to reconsider whether each patient can be switched from GLP1 agonists to equivalent and cheaper alternatives.
​
Many patients would benefit from and tolerate much cheaper medications such as SU or DPP4 inhibitors. SGLT-2 inhibitors are clinically equivalent to GLP1 agonists for patients with recognized or very high risk of cardiovascular disease, and since GLP1 agonists are more than twice as expensive, it is rational to try an SGLT-2 inhibitor first.
​
For recognized kidney disease or heart failure, SGLT-2 inhibitors are clinically the best choice. Even in patients with severe obesity with diabetes, there is often no clinical evidence to prefer a GLP1 agonist.

Common Meds Link to Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Type 2 Diabetes
- Studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes who do not have a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at an increased risk of SCA if they take certain medications such as antipsychotics or antibiotics that prolong the QT interval, specifically macrolides and fluoroquinolones.
At MyIDT2D, we urge those with type 2 diabetes to discuss any potential risks associated with medications with their healthcare providers before starting any new medications.
