Description
Empaglimet 12.5/500mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Empagliflozin 12.5mg (SGLT2 inhibitor) and Metformin 500mg (biguanide), prescribed for adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus requiring dual pharmacological therapy for glycaemic control.
Empagliflozin promotes urinary glucose excretion independent of insulin, providing proven cardiovascular and renal protective benefits. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity without causing hypoglycaemia as monotherapy.
For patients requiring triple therapy, consider Exempa Lin Met XR 12.5/2.5/1000mg Tablet (Empagliflozin + Linagliptin + Metformin XR). For sulfonylurea-based add-on therapy, see Zeenaryl 2mg Tablets (Glimepiride).
