Product Description

Product Name: Empagen-M XR Tablet 10/1000mg

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 14's

Manufactured By: Ferozsons Laboratories

Used For:

Empagen-M XR is a combination of Empagliflozin (10mg) and Metformin Extended Release (XR) (1000mg). This medication is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by:

  • Empagliflozin: A sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar by removing excess glucose through urine.
  • Metformin (XR): A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. The extended-release formulation allows for gradual absorption, which helps reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

Side Effects:

 
Common side effects may include:

  • Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain) from metformin
  • Increased urination
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Hypoglycemia (especially when used with insulin or other diabetes medications)
  • Headache
  • Weakness or tiredness
  • Lactic acidosis (a rare but serious side effect of metformin)
  • Increased thirst

Precautions:

  • Kidney function: Not recommended for patients with severe kidney impairment. Regular monitoring of kidney function is necessary.
  • Heart conditions: Consult your doctor if you have a history of heart problems.
  • Hydration: It’s important to stay hydrated to avoid dehydration, as the medication increases urination.
  • Lactic acidosis risk: Metformin can rarely cause a serious condition called lactic acidosis, which requires immediate medical attention. The risk is higher in people with kidney or liver problems, those who consume excessive alcohol, or those undergoing surgery.
  • Liver disease: Caution should be taken in individuals with liver issues.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this medication.
  • Alcohol: Excessive alcohol use should be avoided as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis with metformin.
