Tab. Empact 25 mg

Empagliflozin is a reversible inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2),  the main site of filtered glucose re-absorption in the renal proximal convoluted tubules. This reduces re-absorption of filtered glucose and lowers renal threshold for glucose, resulting in increased urinary glucose excretion, thereby reducing blood glucose concentration.

Benifits:

Empagliflozin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
