Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) is the predominant transporter responsible for reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate back into the circulation. Empagliflozin is an inhibitor of SGLT2. By inhibiting SGLT2, empagliflozin reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose and thereby increases urinary glucose excretion.

Purpose

Diabetes

Ingredients

Empagliflozin

Warnings

Insulin and insulin secretagogues are known to cause hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia is increased when empagliflozin is used in combination with insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulphonylurea) or insulin.Therefore, a lower dose of the insulin secretagogue or insulin may be required to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with empagliflozin.
Empagliflozin increases the risk for urinary tract infections including urosepsis and pyelonephritis requiring hospitalisation in patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors, including empagliflozin. Monitor and treat asappropriate. Discontinuation of empagliflozin may be considered in cases of recurrent urinary tract infections.
Empagliflozin is advised to not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In patients where DKA is suspected or diagnosed, treatment with empagliflozin is advised to bediscontinued as soon as possible. Treatment is advised to be interrupted in patients who are hospitalised for major surgical procedures or acute serious medical illnesses. In both cases, treatment with empagliflozin may be restarted once the patient''''s condition has stabilised.
