Empha-S 10 Tablet

Product introduction
Empha-S 10 Tablet is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes. It works by lowering blood glucose levels through two mechanisms — helping the kidneys eliminate extra sugar through urine and improving the body’s response to insulin for more effective glucose control. When combined with healthy eating habits and regular physical activity, it helps in long-term diabetes management.

It is important to take Empha-S 10 Tablet regularly as directed by your doctor to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Consistent use lowers the chances of serious complications linked to diabetes, such as nerve damage, kidney issues, and cardiovascular problems. Even if you feel well, do not stop taking the medicine unless your doctor advises you, as type 2 diabetes requires continuous care and monitoring.

Some individuals may experience mild side effects like urinary tract infections, fungal infections, respiratory infections, or headaches while taking this medication. If these problems persist or get worse, speak to your doctor. They may recommend supportive care or adjust the dosage if necessary.

Before starting this medicine, inform your healthcare provider about any history of kidney or liver disorders, urinary tract infections, or heart-related conditions. This medicine is not suitable for people with type 1 diabetes or those who have experienced diabetic ketoacidosis. It should be used carefully in elderly individuals, patients taking diuretics, or those who are dehydrated, as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication.

Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or chewing it. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for best results.

How it works
Empha-S 10 Tablet contains two active components, empagliflozin and sitagliptin. Empagliflozin helps the kidneys expel excess glucose from the body through urine, while sitagliptin stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar rises and decreases glucose production by the liver. Together, they provide a stronger effect in controlling blood sugar levels.
