Key features of this combination include: Two complementary mechanisms of glucose reduction Significant HbA1c reduction potential Additional benefits beyond glycaemic control Reduced risk of hypoglycaemia compared to insulin-based regimens (though caution is needed if combined with insulin or sulphonylureas, which may require dose reduction) How GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and SGLT2 Inhibitors Work Together Understanding the distinct pharmacological mechanisms of these two drug classes helps explain why their combination can be effective
However, as observed in the SURPASS-5, daily insulin dose remained similar in participants randomized to TZP 5 and 10 mg and was mildly reduced in those assuming TZP 15 mg
In patients with MASLD and established CVD, GLP-1-based therapies are strongly supported as a cornerstone treatment addressing both hepatic and cardiometabolic disease burden simultaneously
