Empagreat 10 Tablet

Empagreat 10 Tablet contains empagliflozin 10 mg in each tablet and is supplied in a strip/box pack of 10 tablets. It belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and is used to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagreat 10 Tablet is taken by mouth and may be prescribed alone or with other diabetes medicines, along with diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar control. In some patients with type 2 diabetes, empagliflozin may also be chosen to help reduce the risk of certain diabetes-related complications when a doctor feels it is appropriate.

How it works: Empagliflozin works in the kidneys by blocking the SGLT2 protein, which helps the body pass extra glucose into the urine instead of keeping it in the blood. Because Empagreat 10 Tablet is an oral tablet, it delivers this medicine in a simple once-daily form that is taken whole.

Empagreat 10 Tablet is the lower strength in this brand family compared with Empagreat 25 Tablet, so it is often the starting or gentler maintenance option when a clinician wants less glucose-lowering effect than the 25 mg tablet. This 10 mg tablet may suit people who are beginning empagliflozin or who do not yet need the higher-strength tablet, while still benefiting from the same SGLT2 inhibitor mechanism.
