How Empaneo LM Tablet works
This tablet combines three active ingredients: empagliflozin, linagliptin, and metformin hydrochloride.

• Empagliflozin helps remove excess sugar from the body through urine by blocking a kidney protein called SGLT2, which normally reabsorbs sugar into the bloodstream.

• Linagliptin works by targeting an enzyme called DPP-4, which affects hormones that stimulate insulin release after meals, thereby lowering blood sugar.

• Metformin hydrochloride decreases the production of sugar in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin.
  Together, these actions result in better glucose control and a reduced risk of diabetes-related complications.
