Empaone 10 mg Tablet

Empaone 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing empagliflozin 10 mg in each tablet. It is an SGLT2 inhibitor used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, and it may also be prescribed for certain heart or kidney benefits when a clinician decides it is appropriate. This pack contains 10 tablets of Empaone 10 mg Tablet made by MSN Laboratories. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How it works: Empagliflozin in Empaone 10 mg Tablet works in the kidneys by blocking SGLT2, a protein that normally reabsorbs glucose back into the blood. This lets extra sugar leave the body in the urine, which helps lower blood glucose levels.

Empaone 10 mg Tablet is the lower strength in this brand line, with Empaone 25 mg Tablet available as a higher-strength option. The 10 mg tablet is often chosen when a doctor wants to start with the lower approved dose, assess response, or keep treatment at the lighter end of the empagliflozin dosing range. Even though it is a lower strength, it is still a prescription-strength diabetes medicine and should only be used when a clinician has assessed the patient.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Add-on treatment with diet and exercise
• May be used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications in selected patients
• May be used to support kidney protection in selected patients

• Swallow the Empaone 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it once daily at the same time each day to help you remember the dose.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Drink enough fluids while taking it, especially in hot weather or if you sweat a lot.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your doctor’s specific instructions, because the right dose depends on your condition and other medicines.

Each Empaone 10 mg Tablet provides empagliflozin 10 mg per tablet, not 10 mg per pack. The usual dosing is once daily, and the maximum approved daily dose is typically 25 mg, which is why some patients may later be changed to Empaone 25 mg Tablet if their doctor feels it is needed. Your prescriber decides whether 10 mg is the right dose and whether any adjustment is appropriate.

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