Empagliflozin + Metformin

Empagliflozin combined with metformin is a prescription oral medication used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. This combination brings together two different classes of diabetes medications to help lower blood glucose when diet, exercise, and a single drug are not enough. What Each Ingredient Does: Empagliflozin: This is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing the body to remove excess sugar through urine. It also offers proven cardiovascular benefits, such as reducing the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death. Metformin: This belongs to the biguanide class. It helps lower blood sugar by decreasing glucose production in the liver, reducing glucose absorption in the intestines, and improving insulin sensitivity so the body uses its own insulin more effectively
