Prescription Requirement:

This tablet is regulated as a prescription-only medication. It is essential to provide a valid prescription from your healthcare provider to obtain this product. Consult your doctor for more details.

Product Details:

Empaa-M XR combines two effective anti-diabetic agents: empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride. Empagliflozin works by reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, while metformin enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose production. This combination helps to control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Purposes:

Empaa-M XR is indicated for use in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control. It is used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise regimen. Additionally, empagliflozin helps lower the risk of cardiovascular death associated with type 2 diabetes.

Warnings:

  • Pregnancy: Empaa-M XR should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. Consult your healthcare provider to weigh the benefits and risks.
  • Lactation: Use of Empaa-M XR during breastfeeding should be carefully evaluated. Consult your doctor for advice on whether to continue breastfeeding or adjust the treatment.
  • Driving: The medication may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how Empaa-M XR affects you.
  • Liver Health: Patients with liver conditions should consult their doctor before starting Empaa-M XR. Liver function may need to be monitored closely.
  • Kidney Health: Use with caution in patients with kidney disease. Regular kidney function tests are necessary, and dose adjustments may be required.
