The pill is a once-daily oral GLP-1 receptor agonist designed for weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight

Gliptins may represent a valuable alternative to a sulfonylurea or a glitazone after failure of monotherapy with metformin while GLP-1 receptor agonists may be considered as a good alternative to insulin (especially in obese patients) after failure of a dual oral therapy

For weight loss, most individuals will require a higher dosage, often around 2.4 mg weekly

Patients with certain GLP1R variants may tolerate lower, more frequent doses better than standard escalation protocols

Empagliflozin (with and without metformin), an oral SGLT-2 inhibitor, has been available fully funded with Special Authority approval since 1 February, 2021 (see: Initiating funded treatment)
