Empagliflozin + Metformin
Uses
How Empagliflozin and Metformin Work Empagliflozin and Metformin is a combination of two antidiabetic medications: Empagliflozin and Metformin. Empagliflozin works by eliminating excess glucose from the body through urine. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, they lower blood glucose levels more effectively.
How it Works
Common side effects of Empagliflozin and Metformin include nausea, vomiting, urinary tract infection, genital fungal infection, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), polyuria, flatulence, and dyslipidemia.
