CONCLUSIONS
High-quality evidence shows that the use of canaglifozin and empaglifozin in Type 2 diabetes patients both as monotherapy and in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents or with dietary and personal hygiene measures reduces the level of glycosylated hemoglobin just like other oral antidiabetic agents do. Also, a slight additional effect was observed related to decreased body weight. In terms of safety, a higher risk of bone fractures and lower extremity amputations was observed versus placebo. Also, a higher risk of kidney failure was observed with the use of canaglifozin only when compared with other oral antidiabetic agents or placebo.
Low-quality evidence suggests that the use of these drugs would reduce mortality and the incidence of hospitalizations due to heart failure when compared with other oral antidiabetic agents.
Some clinical practice guidelines recommend the use of these drugs in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents when the treatment targets have not been achieved or as monotherapy when there is contraindication for metformin, sulphonylureas, thiazolidinediones or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 enzyme inhibitor administration.
Some health sponsors from high-income countries cover this technology in patients who cannot receive other oral antidiabetic agents or when the treatment target is not achieved with their use. No cost-effectiveness studies have been found in Argentina.
