Description
Empator M 12.5/1000mg Tablets — Dual Antidiabetic Therapy
Empator M 12.5/1000mg Tablets combine Empagliflozin 12.5mg (an SGLT2 inhibitor) and Metformin 1000mg (a biguanide) in a single fixed-dose tablet, providing complementary mechanisms for controlling blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This medicine requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
Clinical Uses
- Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus when dual oral therapy is required
- Patients inadequately controlled on Metformin alone
- Reduction of cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients with established heart disease
- Reduction of progression of diabetic kidney disease
How It Works
Empagliflozin inhibits SGLT2 in the renal tubule, increasing urinary glucose excretion. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, together providing additive glycaemic control.
Important Information
- Not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis
- Renal function should be assessed before and during therapy
- Monitor for signs of lactic acidosis (Metformin-related)
- Take with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects of Metformin

How To Use
Take as directed by your physician, usually once or twice daily with meals to minimise gastrointestinal effects from Metformin. Swallow tablets whole with water. Do not crush or split.
