Product introduction
Empaneo M 12.5mg/500mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to help manage high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works best when used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. This medicine helps your body make better use of insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels and keeps them under control.

It is recommended to take this tablet with food at a consistent time each day to get the best results. The exact dose will be decided by your doctor depending on your condition. Do not stop taking the medicine without medical advice, as doing so may cause your blood sugar to rise, leading to serious complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, or vision loss. Along with medication, maintaining a balanced diet, physical activity, and healthy weight is essential for effective diabetes management.

Some common side effects include changes in taste, nausea, vomiting, loose stools, joint discomfort, urinary tract infections, and fungal infections, especially in the genital area. Staying well hydrated can help prevent dehydration caused by this medicine. Good personal hygiene is also important to lower the chances of fungal infections.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver issues, urinary tract infections, or if you are taking water tablets (diuretics). Pregnant or breastfeeding women must consult their doctor before use. Avoid drinking excessive alcohol as it may increase the risk of certain side effects. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels is recommended while on this medication.

How this medicine works
Empaneo M 12.5mg/500mg Tablet combines two active ingredients: Empagliflozin and Metformin. Empagliflozin helps the body eliminate excess glucose through urine, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows down sugar absorption from food, and increases insulin sensitivity. Together, they work more effectively to control blood sugar levels.
