Used For:
Empagen-M is a combination of two medications: Empagliflozin (12.5mg) and Metformin (1000mg). It is used for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus by:
- Empagliflozin: A sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps remove excess glucose through urine.
- Metformin: A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin.
Together, they help lower blood sugar levels and may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
- Gastrointestinal issues: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain
- Increased urination
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially when used with insulin or other diabetes medications
- Headache
- Lactic acidosis (rare but serious side effect of metformin)
Precautions:
- Kidney function: Avoid use in patients with severe kidney problems or decreased kidney function.
- Heart conditions: Consult a healthcare provider if you have a history of heart disease.
- Hydration: Stay well-hydrated, as increased urination may lead to dehydration.
- Lactic acidosis risk: Metformin can cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis, particularly in people with kidney issues or those who consume excessive alcohol.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Seek advice from a healthcare professional before using during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Liver disease: Use with caution in individuals with liver impairment.
