描述
Combining semaglutide with insulin glargine increases hypoglycaemia risk; however, the combination is used clinically with appropriate dose adjustments for improved glycaemic control.
机制
Semaglutide enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon, adding to the glucose-lowering effect of exogenous insulin glargine. The risk is pharmacodynamic and glucose-dependent.
临床意义
SUSTAIN clinical trials reported higher rates of hypoglycaemia when semaglutide was added to basal insulin; the combination requires insulin dose reduction of approximately 20% at initiation.
处理措施
Reduce insulin glargine dose by 20% when initiating semaglutide; intensify blood glucose self-monitoring; titrate both agents individually based on fasting glucose targets.
