What Experts Say

Empagliflozin blocks glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, so extra sugar leaves the body through urine instead of staying in the blood.

It is taken once daily in the morning and works alongside diet and exercise, with added benefits for heart and kidney protection beyond sugar control.

The main safety point is dehydration risk and genital infections from the sugar in urine, plus a rare but serious risk of ketoacidosis even with normal blood sugar readings.
