Empha-L 10 Tablet

Product introduction
Empha-L 10 Tablet is a combination medication designed to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is used alongside a proper diet and regular physical activity to improve glucose control. This medicine works by helping the body use insulin more effectively, which leads to a decrease in blood sugar levels.

You can take Empha-L 10 Tablet with or without meals, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in your body. Your doctor will determine the right dose based on your condition. Do not stop using this medication suddenly, as it may cause a spike in blood sugar, increasing the chances of serious problems such as kidney damage or vision loss. This treatment works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including balanced meals, regular exercise, and weight management.

The most common side effects of this medicine include urinary tract infections, sore throat, and cold-like symptoms. Some individuals may experience fungal infections in the genital area; keeping the area clean and dry can help prevent this. Drinking enough water is also important to avoid dehydration.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any existing kidney or liver issues, urinary tract infections, or if you are taking diuretics (water pills). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Limiting alcohol consumption is recommended, as it can increase the risk of side effects. Regular monitoring of blood sugar is essential while taking this medicine.

Benefits of Empha-L 10 Tablet
Empha-L 10 Tablet helps lower high blood sugar by eliminating extra glucose from the body through urine. Keeping blood sugar under control reduces the risk of severe complications related to diabetes, such as kidney problems, nerve damage, eye issues, and even limb amputation. It also helps lower the risk of death from heart-related conditions in people with type 2 diabetes who already have cardiovascular disease. When used consistently with diet and exercise, this medicine supports a healthier, more active lifestyle. Continuing the medication as advised is important to protect your health in the long run.

Possible side effects
Most side effects are mild and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.

• Sore throat or nasal irritation

• Genital yeast infection

• Low blood sugar (especially when used with other diabetes medicines)

• Cough

• Nausea or vomiting

• Constipation

• Urinary tract infection

How to take Empha-L 10 Tablet
Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew it. It can be taken before or after meals, but try to take it at the same time daily.

How it works
Empha-L 10 Tablet combines two antidiabetic medicines: Empagliflozin and Linagliptin. Empagliflozin works by helping the kidneys remove excess sugar through urine, while Linagliptin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows down glucose absorption from food, and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar levels.
