Change in Diabetes Medication for Patients
May 28, 2026
The Health Insurance Organization announced the end of supplies for the injectable diabetes medication Victoza. Doctors are urged to switch their patients to the treatment with Ozempic, which contains a different substance. This transition will take effect on June 1, 2026. The organization has created specific medication codes for patients already receiving Victoza. Doctors must submit requests in a timely manner to avoid delays in patient treatment.
