✅ Description:
Empadus M is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when dual therapy with empagliflozin and metformin is appropriate. It is also indicated for reducing the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.
This fixed-dose combination contains:
- Empagliflozin, a selective SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal glucose reabsorption and increases urinary glucose excretion.
- Metformin, a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity.
Together, they synergistically lower blood glucose levels and improve insulin action.
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If it’s close to the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.
Caution is advised in:
- Elderly patients
- Patients at risk of dehydration
- History of genital infections
- Those undergoing surgery or radiologic procedures involving iodinated contrast agents
- Renal and hepatic function should be assessed before and during treatment
