About Empoli Tablet 25 mg

What Experts Say

Empagliflozin belongs to a class of medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors that work differently from older diabetes drugs. Glucose reabsorption in the kidneys is blocked instead of acting on insulin, so excess sugar leaves the body through urine. Pakistani physicians often add it when Metformin alone falls short of controlling blood sugar.

Type 2 diabetes affects a very large share of adults in Pakistan, often alongside high blood pressure and heart disease. This class of medicine is increasingly favored by doctors in such patients, because trials have shown real benefits for the heart and kidneys, not just blood sugar numbers.

Kidney function is usually checked before this medicine is started and periodically afterward, since its effectiveness depends on adequate kidney filtration. Adequate hydration and awareness of genital infection symptoms or unusual tiredness are advised, both of which should be reported promptly.
