Composition

• Active Ingredient: Empagliflozin 25 mg

Mechanism of Action

Empagliflozin works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in the proximal renal tubules. This inhibition reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys and promotes the excretion of excess glucose through urine. The result is a significant reduction in blood sugar levels, achieved independently of insulin secretion or sensitivity.
