Empaglyde Lm 10/1000 Tablet 10 contains three active ingredients that work together to control blood sugar:

• Empagliflozin (10 mg): This component inhibits sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, preventing glucose reabsorption in kidney tubules and increasing urinary glucose excretion, which helps lower blood sugar levels.

• Linagliptin (5 mg): Acts as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones, which are natural substances that help control blood sugar after meals by enhancing insulin release and reducing glucagon production.

• Metformin (1000 mg): Belongs to the biguanide class of medicines that decreases glucose production in the liver, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity in muscles, helping them take up glucose more effectively.

• Store Empaglyde Lm 10/1000 Tablet 10 at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep in the original container with the lid tightly closed to protect from moisture and light.

• Avoid storing in bathrooms due to humidity.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Follow a low-carbohydrate diet, focusing on complex carbohydrates (like whole grains and vegetables) instead of simple sugars, as this helps maintain better blood glucose (sugar) control.

• Engage in regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily, such as brisk walking or swimming, as exercise improves insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood glucose levels.
