Description:
Empagliflozin 12.5mg + Metformin 500mg IR (Immediate Release) is a fixed-dose combination tablet designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus effectively. This combination leverages two complementary mechanisms:
Empagliflozin (12.5mg): A Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps lower blood glucose by promoting renal excretion of glucose through urine.
Metformin (500mg): A biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity.
The immediate-release formulation ensures rapid absorption and effective glucose lowering throughout the day. This combination is ideal for patients who need enhanced glycemic control with cardiovascular and renal protective benefits. It supports better blood sugar management while helping with weight control.
