Empha-M 25/1000 Tablet ER

Product Introduction
Empha-M 25/1000 Tablet ER is a combination drug used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It works alongside proper diet and regular physical activity to help regulate blood sugar levels. The medicine improves the way your body utilizes insulin, which helps in lowering glucose levels effectively.

This medicine should be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain consistent blood levels. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you. Stopping the medication suddenly without medical guidance may cause your blood sugar to rise, leading to serious complications such as kidney problems, eye damage, or other diabetes-related issues. In addition to this medicine, following a healthy lifestyle that includes balanced eating, exercise, and weight management is very important for the best results.

Some commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, changes in taste, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, joint discomfort, and yeast infections. Drinking plenty of water can help prevent dehydration. Since this medication may increase the risk of fungal infections in the genital area, maintaining good personal hygiene is recommended.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver issues, existing urinary tract infections, or if you are taking water pills (diuretics). If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use. It is also advised to avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it may raise the risk of side effects. Regular blood sugar monitoring is important while on this treatment.

How It Works
Empha-M 25/1000 Tablet ER contains two active ingredients: Empagliflozin and Metformin.

• Empagliflozin works by promoting the elimination of excess sugar through urine.

• Metformin decreases sugar production in the liver, delays sugar absorption from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
  The combination of these two medicines results in more effective control of blood sugar levels.
