Empagliflozin functions as an inhibitor of Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2), the primary transporter responsible for reabsorbing glucose in the kidneys. By blocking SGLT2, Empagliflozin enhances glucose excretion via urine, reducing blood sugar levels.
Metformin Hydrochloride is a biguanide-class antihyperglycemic drug that helps manage type 2 diabetes by lowering both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels without causing hypoglycemia. It works by reducing glucose production in the liver, limiting intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity in the body.
Empatab M ER is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as a supplement to diet and exercise in the following cases:
- When blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled despite the highest tolerated dose of Metformin alone.
- When used alongside other diabetes medications in patients whose blood sugar remains uncontrolled with Metformin and these treatments.
- For patients already taking Empagliflozin and Metformin as separate tablets.
