What is Empadoz M 12.5/1000MG Tab used for?

How Empadoz M 12.5/1000MG Tab Works

Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion via the kidneys. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, reducing glucose absorption and improving peripheral uptake.

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually with meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew. Maintain adequate hydration; follow diet/exercise advice and monitor blood glucose regularly.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Lowers HbA1c and fasting/postprandial glucose
Promotes urinary glucose excretion and improved insulin sensitivity
Low hypoglycaemia risk when used without insulin/secretagogues
May support weight reduction/weight neutrality
Convenient combination therapy to improve adherence

Pregnancy

Alcohol Interaction

Avoid (increases risk of lactic acidosis with metformin and dehydration)
