Abstract

Oral semaglutide was associated with a cost advantage of USD 15,036 compared to empagliflozin for achieving HbA1c ≤ 6.5%.

  • Oral semaglutide resulted in lower treatment costs across all evaluated endpoints for type 2 diabetes.
  • For achieving HbA1c < 7.0%, oral semaglutide's cost of control was lower than empagliflozin, sitagliptin, and liraglutide by USD 14,697, 6996, and 346, respectively.
  • The double composite endpoint showed oral semaglutide had a lower cost of control by USD 525, 32,277, and 13,011 compared to the other three treatments.
  • For the triple composite endpoint, oral semaglutide's cost of control was lower by USD 1255, 7510, and 5774 compared to empagliflozin, sitagliptin, and liraglutide.
