It’s a long-term condition that can influence your daily life. You might have to alter your diet, take medication, and visit regularly to have a normal life.

Empagliflozin + metformin contains two antidiabetic drugs: Empagliflozin and Metformin. Empagliflozin is a category of drug that is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It lowers blood sugar levels in diabetic individuals. It accomplishes this by assisting in the elimination of excess sugar from your body via your urine. Metformin is a biguanide-class drug and controls blood sugar levels, especially in overweight patients. It reduces your blood sugar levels by making your body work better with insulin. Together, they reduce blood glucose more.
