Description
Indications
This medication is a combination of two active ingredients: empagliflozin and linagliptin. It is prescribed along with a proper diet and exercise regimen to effectively manage high blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin operates by enhancing the elimination of sugar by the kidneys, while linagliptin functions by elevating the levels of natural substances known as incretins. These incretins aid in blood sugar control by promoting insulin release, particularly after a meal.
By maintaining control over elevated blood sugar, this treatment helps prevent potential complications such as kidney damage, vision impairment, nerve disorders, limb loss, and sexual function issues. Proper diabetes control can also reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes.
Uses and Dosage
Empagliflozin and linagliptin can be taken with or without food and at any time during the day as long as you maintain a consistent daily schedule.
Swallow the tablet whole with a beverage, and do not crush or chew the tablets.
The appropriate dose of this medication can vary based on factors such as body weight, other medical conditions, and concurrent medications. If your doctor has recommended a different dose than the ones listed here, do not alter your intake without consulting them.
Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular dosing schedule. If it is less than 12 hours until your next dose, skip the missed dose and stick to your regular schedule. Avoid taking a double dose to compensate for a missed one, and never consume two doses within the same day. If you are unsure about what to do after missing a dose, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

Before using this medication, discuss your medical history with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have kidney disease (such as undergoing dialysis), a history of dehydration, pancreatitis, alcohol use/abuse, gallstones, low blood pressure, heart failure, high cholesterol, or yeast infections in the vagina or penis.
