On 1 December 2024, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) restrictions for dapagliflozin were expanded to allow treatment in combination with metformin (unless contraindicated/intolerant) with no glycaemic requirements for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and high cardiovascular risk. This includes patients with cardiovascular disease, those at high risk of a cardiovascular event, and Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander patients.
