Diajard-m 5mg/500mg for Type 2 Diabetes Control
Description
Diajard-M Tablets 5mg/500mg – Dual Action Blood Sugar Control Therapy
Diajard-M Tablets 5mg/500mg are a prescription oral antidiabetic medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This combination therapy includes empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride, working through complementary mechanisms to provide effective and sustained blood sugar control.
Empagliflozin lowers blood glucose levels by promoting the elimination of excess glucose through the kidneys, while metformin HCl decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. Together, they help regulate both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels without causing excessive insulin stimulation.
Diajard-M 5mg/500mg is suitable for patients who require combination therapy with a lower empagliflozin dose while maintaining metformin support. When used alongside dietary control and regular physical activity, it plays a key role in long-term diabetes management and helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
This medicine should be taken strictly under medical supervision, with routine monitoring of blood glucose levels to ensure treatment effectiveness and safety.

Usage & Benefits
Entry-level dual therapy: both components at lowest strength for gentle initiation
Empagliflozin provides SGLT2-based glucose lowering with cardio-renal protective effects
Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose output
Low intrinsic hypoglycaemia risk — neither agent forces insulin release on its own
Two complementary mechanisms in one tablet reduce pill burden
Well tolerated starting point that can be stepped up if more control is needed
How To Use
Take one Diajard-M 5mg/500mg tablet twice daily with meals. Take with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water — do not crush or chew. Do not stop without consulting your doctor. Sick-day rule: temporarily stop during severe illness, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, before contrast imaging, or before surgery — consult your doctor immediately. Risk of euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): seek emergency care if you experience persistent nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or unusual fatigue — even with normal blood sugar. May increase risk of genital yeast infections and urinary tract infections — report symptoms promptly. May cause dizziness — sit or stand up slowly. Avoid heavy alcohol use. Have eGFR and vitamin B12 levels checked periodically.
FAQs
Who is Diajard-M 5mg/500mg best suited for?
This is the entry-strength combination — ideal for patients starting SGLT2 plus metformin dual therapy, or those who need lower doses due to tolerability concerns. Both components are at their gentlest effective strength.
Will this cause low blood sugar?
Hypoglycaemia is uncommon with this combination on its own. Risk rises if you are also taking insulin or sulfonylureas — your doctor may adjust those doses.
What sick-day rules apply?
Temporarily stop during vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, dehydration, fasting, before contrast imaging, or before surgery. Both DKA and lactic acidosis risks apply — consult your doctor immediately.
How often should kidney function be checked?
eGFR should be checked at baseline and at least annually. This combination is avoided below eGFR 45 mL/min.
Can long-term metformin use affect vitamin B12?
Yes. Long-term metformin may lower vitamin B12 levels. Periodic testing is recommended, particularly if you develop symptoms of neuropathy or anaemia.
