Empha-S 10 Tablet

Product Overview
Empha-S 10 Tablet is a medicine prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing the removal of excess glucose through the kidneys and improving the body’s natural response to insulin. When used along with a proper diet and regular exercise, it provides effective long-term control of diabetes and helps prevent complications related to high blood sugar.

Taking Empha-S 10 Tablet consistently as advised by your doctor is essential for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Regular use reduces the chances of developing serious diabetes-related problems such as kidney disease, nerve damage, or heart complications. Even if you start feeling well, do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as diabetes requires continuous management. Following a healthy lifestyle along with this medication will support better long-term results.

Some individuals may experience mild side effects, which usually go away as the body adapts to the treatment. Common effects include urinary tract infections, fungal infections, headaches, or symptoms of the common cold. If these problems persist or become severe, inform your doctor for further guidance.

Before starting treatment with Empha-S 10 Tablet, inform your healthcare provider about any history of kidney or liver disorders, frequent urinary tract infections, or heart-related issues. This medicine is not suitable for people with type 1 diabetes or those who have experienced diabetic ketoacidosis. Caution is advised in older adults, people who are dehydrated, or those taking water pills, as there may be a higher risk of low blood pressure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication to ensure it is safe for them.

Uses

It helps improve long-term blood glucose management and lowers the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical treatment. However, if they continue or become bothersome, contact your doctor.
Some commonly reported side effects include:

• Urinary tract infections

How to Take Empha-S 10 Tablet
Take the medicine exactly as recommended by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, without crushing or chewing it. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day for the best effect.

How It Works
Empha-S 10 Tablet contains two active components: empagliflozin and sitagliptin. Empagliflozin helps remove excess sugar from the body through urine by acting on the kidneys. Sitagliptin increases the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high and decreases sugar production by the liver. Together, these ingredients work in different ways to provide more effective blood sugar control than using either medicine alone.

• Pregnancy: This medication is not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly necessary. Your doctor will decide if the benefits outweigh the risks.

• Breastfeeding: The medicine may pass into breast milk, so consult your doctor before use.

• Liver Issues: Inform your doctor if you have liver problems before starting the medicine.
