Empagreat 25 Tablet

Empagreat 25 Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine containing empagliflozin 25 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and is used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Empagreat 25 Tablet may also be chosen for people who need a stronger empagliflozin strength after a doctor reviews their response to lower-dose treatment. It is sold by Mankind Pharma, India, in a strip/box of 10 packs.

How it works: Empagliflozin in Empagreat 25 Tablet works by helping the kidneys remove extra sugar through the urine instead of keeping it in the blood. As a tablet taken by mouth, it is absorbed into the body and then helps lower blood glucose throughout the day.

Empagreat 25 Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in the empagliflozin range we carry, compared with Empagreat 10 Tablet. Because it contains 25 mg per tablet, it is usually used when a doctor wants a stronger glucose-lowering effect and has already decided that this dose is appropriate for the patient. It is not a starting strength for everyone.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Added to diet and exercise
• May be used with other diabetes medicines
• May help reduce glucose-related complications when prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow the Empagreat 25 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• It can usually be taken with or without food.
• Drink enough fluids, especially if you are exercising, sweating, or in hot weather, because this medicine can increase urination.
• Follow the exact schedule your prescriber gives you; do not take extra tablets to make up for missed blood sugar control.

Each Empagreat 25 Tablet provides empagliflozin 25 mg per tablet. Depending on your treatment plan, it may be taken once daily, but the exact dose and timing must be decided by your doctor based on your blood sugar, kidney function, and other medicines. Do not exceed the prescribed amount; taking more than directed does not make it safer or more effective.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
