Empagliflozin And Metformin Hydrochloride 12.5mg/500mg Tablets

EMPATECH MET is a dual-action oral antidiabetic medication designed to help individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus manage their blood glucose levels more effectively. This fixed-dose combination unites two proven antidiabetic agentsEmpagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, and Metformin, a widely used insulin sensitizerto provide comprehensive and balanced glycemic control with additional benefits for heart and kidney health.

Key Ingredients

• 
  

  Empagliflozin (12.5mg): A next-generation SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces blood sugar by increasing glucose excretion through urine, while also offering cardiovascular and renal protection.

  
  


• 
  

  Metformin Hydrochloride (500mg): A trusted biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity, making it a cornerstone in diabetes management.

  
  

Key Benefits

• 
  

  Effective Glycemic Control: Targets both fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels.

  
  


• 
  

  Weight and Blood Pressure Support: Empagliflozin aids in modest weight loss and reduces systolic blood pressure.

  
  


• 
  

  Cardiovascular Protection: Empagliflozin has demonstrated benefits in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients.

  
  


• 
  

  Renal Function Support: Helps slow the progression of kidney disease in diabetic individuals.

  
  


• 
  

  Lower Hypoglycemia Risk: Unlike insulin or sulfonylureas, this combination minimizes the chance of low blood sugar episodes.

  
  

How Does It Work?

The combination of Empagliflozin and Metformin addresses high blood sugar through two mechanisms:

1. 
   

   Empagliflozin blocks the SGLT2 proteins in the kidneys, preventing glucose reabsorption and encouraging its elimination via urine.

   
   


2. 
   

   Metformin reduces the livers production of glucose and improves the bodys response to insulin, enhancing glucose uptake by tissues.

   
   

This dual approach helps maintain optimal blood sugar levels while providing ancillary health benefits.

Directions for Use

• 
  

  Take EMPATECH MET exactly as prescribed by your physician.

  
  


• 
  

  Usually taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

  
  


• 
  

  Maintain adequate hydration, especially while on SGLT2 inhibitors.

  
  


• 
  

  Regular monitoring of blood glucose, renal function, and HbA1c is recommended.

  
  

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• 
  

  Increased urination

  
  


• 
  

  Genital yeast infections

  
  


• 
  

  Mild dehydration

  
  


• 
  

  Nausea or stomach upset (mainly from metformin)

  
  


• 
  

  Flatulence or diarrhea

  
  

Rare but serious risks:

• 
  

  Lactic acidosis (with metformin, particularly in those with kidney issues)

  
  


• 
  

  Diabetic ketoacidosis (rare with empagliflozin, even at normal glucose levels)

  
  

If you experience symptoms such as persistent nausea, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
