Composition

Each tablet contains:

Mechanism of Action

Empagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor)

• Reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys
• Promotes urinary excretion of excess glucose

Metformin (Biguanide)

• Decreases glucose production in the liver

Together, they provide comprehensive control of blood glucose levels.
