Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet

Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine that contains 10 mg of empagliflozin in each tablet. It belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and is used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise. In some patients, it may also be used to reduce the risk of certain heart and kidney complications when prescribed by a clinician. This pack contains strip/box packaging of 10 packs of Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet from Lupin Ltd.

How it works: Empagliflozin in Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet helps the kidneys remove extra sugar through the urine instead of keeping it in the blood. Because it is a tablet taken by mouth, it works systemically after absorption and is used consistently each day as directed by your prescriber.

Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet is the lower-strength tablet in this brand family, with each tablet providing 10 mg of empagliflozin. Doctors often choose this strength when starting treatment or when they want a gentler step before considering the higher 25 mg tablet, depending on the patient’s blood sugar goals and overall health. It is not meant to be chosen on your own as a casual lower-dose option; the right strength depends on your medical history and kidney function.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Add-on therapy to diet and exercise
• May help lower the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in selected patients
• May help protect kidney function in certain patients when prescribed
• Adjunct treatment when metformin or other medicines are not enough

• Swallow Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Take it once daily at the same time each day, with or without food.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Drink enough fluids, especially in hot weather or if you are active, because this medicine can increase urination.
• Keep taking the tablet regularly even if you feel well, because blood sugar control depends on consistent use.

Each Gibtulio 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of empagliflozin. It is commonly taken once daily, and the maximum daily dose is determined by your doctor; many patients are not increased beyond 10 mg unless a prescriber decides the 25 mg tablet is appropriate. Your clinician chooses the dose based on your blood sugar response, kidney function, and treatment goals.

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