Empagliflozin 5mg + Metformin 500mg Tablets is a combination oral antidiabetic medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagliflozin is a selective SGLT2 (Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2) inhibitor that helps lower blood glucose by promoting glucose excretion through urine. Metformin is a biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity, reduces hepatic glucose production, and enhances peripheral glucose uptake. Together, this combination provides dual action to help control blood sugar levels effectively. This medication is particularly useful for patients whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled with diet, exercise, or monotherapy and is often prescribed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.
