Empagliflozin + Metformin

Uses

How Empagliflozin and Metformin Work Empagliflozin and Metformin is a combination of two antidiabetic medications: Empagliflozin and Metformin. Empagliflozin works by eliminating excess glucose from the body through urine. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, they lower blood glucose levels more effectively.

How it Works

Common side effects of Empagliflozin and Metformin include nausea, vomiting, urinary tract infection, genital fungal infection, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), polyuria, flatulence, and dyslipidemia.

  • Practice good genital hygiene to prevent yeast or urinary tract infections.
  • It may cause your body to lose too much fluid (dehydration) or increase urination.

  • It can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal.
