Jardiance 10 mg Tablet

Jardiance 10 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 10 mg of empagliflozin in each tablet. It belongs to the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and is used to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is also prescribed to lower the risk of cardiovascular death in certain adults with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease, and it may be used for other doctor-directed cardiometabolic benefits. This pack contains Jardiance 10 mg Tablet in a strip/box of 10 packs from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals.

How it works: Jardiance 10 mg Tablet helps your kidneys remove extra sugar from your blood by passing more glucose into the urine. Because it works through the kidneys, it is taken as a tablet and does not need to be matched to meals to work. By lowering the amount of sugar your body keeps, empagliflozin can also cause a small loss of calories and fluid, which is why some people notice changes in weight or blood pressure over time.

Jardiance 10 mg Tablet is the lowest strength in the range you listed, so it is the usual tablet strength doctors often start with when empagliflozin is appropriate. Compared with Jardiance 25 mg Tablet, the 10 mg tablet provides a lower daily dose and may be chosen first to assess how well it is tolerated before any increase is considered by the prescriber.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Add-on therapy with diet and exercise
• Lowering cardiovascular death risk in certain adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease
• Doctor-directed diabetes management

• Swallow Jardiance 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your prescriber specifically says it is okay.
• Take it once daily, usually in the morning, with or without food.
• Drink enough fluids while taking this tablet, especially in hot weather or if you sweat a lot.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Use it exactly as prescribed even if you feel well, because blood sugar benefits may build over time.

Each Jardiance 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of empagliflozin per tablet. This strength is commonly taken once daily, and the exact schedule and whether the dose should stay at 10 mg or be increased is decided by the doctor based on your response, kidney function, and overall treatment plan. Do not exceed the dose your prescriber recommends; if a higher dose is needed, the doctor may consider Jardiance 25 mg Tablet instead of taking extra tablets.

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