- Linagliptin 5 mg: DPP-4 inhibitor cleared mostly non-renally, so no dose change needed
- Dapagliflozin or empagliflozin alongside, for cardiorenal protection
- If a DPP-4 inhibitor is contraindicated or not tolerated: pioglitazone or an insulin-based regimen

FAQ
Most asked before joining.
No. Every year, trainees pass through disciplined self-study alone. A provider is not a requirement, and you should be wary of anyone who sells you the idea that it is.
What PharmX does is make the same hours count for more. Everything lives in one place, mapped to the assessment framework, and every topic is taught through the reasoning behind the decision, so revision builds judgement rather than a pile of memorised facts.
It is why the message we hear most from members is “I wish I’d joined sooner”. Not because passing was impossible without PharmX, but because understanding early beats re-reading late.
