Use in Type 1 DIabetes and Heart Failure

Dapagliflozin is HOSPITAL INITIATION  when prescribed for used in following indications:

 

Type 1 Diabetes - manufacturer has withdrawn license for use in Type 1 diabetes  and subsequently NICE TA 597 has been withdawn.

  • For existing patients, Barts Health will liaise with GPs to continue treatment as "off-label"using existing transfer of care documents available on portal  and if GP refuses, this will be stopped.
  • No new patients are expected to be initiated,  and if so, GPs would be contacted by specialist to discuss further whether prepared to prescribe if treatment started by hospital. Evidence base remains unchanged, and license withdrawal was due to commerical reasons - not due to any concerns around safety.   

Treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: following initiation by specialist and reveiw from hospital, and can be prescribed in primary care. The indication is in line with NICE TA 679
