Empaone 10 Tablet contains empagliflozin (10 mg) which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits SGLT2: Empagliflozin works by blocking a protein in your kidneys known as Sodium-Glucose Co-transporter 2 (SGLT2). This protein is responsible for reabsorbing glucose from your urine back into your bloodstream.

• Increases Glucose Excretion: By inhibiting the activity of SGLT2, empagliflozin increases the excretion of glucose in your urine, effectively lowering your blood sugar levels. This unique mechanism of action is independent of insulin secretion or action.
