Product Details:

Empaphage 10 mg Tablet contains Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It also offers cardiovascular benefits by reducing the risk of death due to heart-related conditions. Empaphage works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine, supporting better control of blood glucose levels.

Purposes:

  • Blood Sugar Control: Empaphage is prescribed to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.
  • Cardiovascular Protection: It is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk of heart disease.

How To Use:

  • Take Empaphage 10 mg tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, break, or chew it.
  • You can take Empaphage with or without food, at the same time every day for consistency.
  • Your dosage may change depending on your blood sugar levels and treatment response, so follow your doctor's guidance closely.

Expert Advice:

  • Continue following your prescribed exercise plan and balanced diet in addition to taking Empaphage.
  • Store Empaphage at room temperature, away from moisture, excess heat, and direct sunlight.
  • Keep the medication out of children’s and pets’ reach.
