Committee Recommendations (1)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC) approves tirzepatide, a long-acting dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for treating type 2 diabetes in line with the recommendations made in NICE TA924.

Tirzepatide will be given a GREEN traffic light status for this indication.

Dulaglutide remains the preferred choice among GLP-1 options for weekly injections and semaglutide stands as an alternative to dulaglutide for weekly injections.

Please consider tirzepatide as a third line option to dulaglutide and semaglutide weekly injection, only if:

·         dulaglutide and semaglutide are unsuitable.

or

the supply of dulaglutide and semaglutide weekly injections is unavailable.
