Medication name: Jardiance Empagliflozin 25 mg Tablets \u00d7 30
\nDrug class: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor \/ Oral antidiabetic agent<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt is also prescribed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with both type 2 diabetes and established heart disease, and to protect kidney function in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, empagliflozin, works by inhibiting the SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) proteins in the kidneys.
\nThese proteins normally reabsorb glucose back into the bloodstream.
\nBy blocking them, empagliflozin allows excess glucose to be excreted through the urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels naturally and independently of insulin.
\nThis process also helps reduce blood pressure and promote modest weight loss.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nThe usual adult dose is one tablet (25 mg) once daily, taken in the morning, with or without food.
\nIf you are starting treatment, your doctor may begin with a 10 mg dose, then increase to 25 mg as needed.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water \u2014 do not crush or chew.
\nTake it at the same time each day to maintain consistent effect.
\nStay well hydrated, as the medicine increases urine output.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nJardiance is generally well tolerated.
\nCommon mild side effects include increased urination, thirst, mild dehydration, or genital yeast infections.
\nOccasionally, urinary tract infections or dizziness (due to fluid loss) may occur.
\nRare but serious side effects include ketoacidosis (nausea, vomiting, fatigue, or rapid breathing) \u2014 seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms appear.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if allergic to empagliflozin or any of the tablet\u2019s ingredients.
\nAvoid use in patients with severe kidney disease, dehydration, or low blood pressure.
\nConsult your doctor before use if you have urinary infections, liver problems, or are taking diuretics.
\nThis medication is not suitable for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
\nUse during pregnancy or breastfeeding only under medical supervision.<\/p>\n
Storage:
\nStore below 25 \u00b0C in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
\nKeep tablets in their original packaging until use.
