I have type 2 diabetes (egfr recently 36) and chronic kidney failure and am 67 years old. Do I have the right to get the medicine I am taking forxiga 10 mg for free at the pharmacy?
Please kindly reply

Whether a patient can receive a drug at a discount is decided by the doctor based on the patient's health condition and reimbursement indications. The current reimbursement indications for Forxiga are:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients treated with at least two hypoglycaemic agents, with an HbA1c ≥ 7.5% and a very high cardiovascular risk defined as: 1) confirmed cardiovascular disease, or 2) damage to other organs manifested by: proteinuria or left ventricular hypertrophy or retinopathy, or 3) the presence of 3 or more of the main risk factors listed below: -age ≥ 55 years for men, ≥60 years for women, -dyslipidaemia, -hypertension, -smoking, -obesity
Chronic heart failure in adult patients with LVEF≤50% and persistent symptoms of NYHA class II-IV disease: -despite ACEi-based therapy (or ARB/ARNi) and beta-blockers, and if indicated mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (with LVEF ejection fraction ≤40%) or, despite ACEi-based therapy (or ARB/ARNi) and beta-blockers, and diuretics (with LVEF ejection fraction 41-50%);
Chronic kidney disease in adult patients with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2, albuminurią lub białkomoczem oraz leczonych terapią opartą na ACE-i/ARB nie krócej niż 4 tygodnie lub z przeciwskazaniami do tych terapii.
Proszę z lekarzem porozmawiać na temat tego, czy w Pani przypadku lek może przepisany być na zniżkę.
