Product details
EMPATECH MET 12.5/500 is a powerful oral antidiabetic combination therapy containing Empagliflozin and Metformin Hydrochloride, designed to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus effectively. This dual-action formula helps control blood sugar levels, supports weight management, and offers added cardiovascular benefits. EMPATECH MET 12.5/500 is particularly beneficial for adults who require a second-line treatment when diet, exercise, and monotherapy are not sufficient. Key Ingredients Empagliflozin (12.5 mg): A sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps reduce blood glucose levels by promoting glucose excretion through urine. Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg): A biguanide class medication that lowers blood glucose by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. Key Benefits Helps in lowering and maintaining stable blood glucose levels Promotes weight loss and reduces visceral fat Reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients Supports renal protection in people with diabetes and mild kidney dysfunction Offers a low risk of hypoglycemia compared to some other therapies Improves glycemic control with a dual mechanism of action How Does It Work? EMPATECH MET 12.5/500 functions through two complementary mechanisms: Empagliflozin works by blocking SGLT2 proteins in the kidneys, reducing the reabsorption of glucose and increasing its excretion via urine. This lowers blood sugar levels independently of insulin action. Metformin acts primarily by inhibiting hepatic glucose production and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin, allowing for better uptake and usage of glucose by muscles and fat tissues. Together, they provide a comprehensive glycemic control strategy, especially for patients not responding well to monotherapy. Directions for Use Take the tablet as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily with meals. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew. Continue following a healthy diet and regular exercise routine for optimal results. Monitor blood sugar levels regularly and report any unusual changes to your healthcare provider. Do not stop the medication without medical advice, even if your blood sugar levels improve.
