How DiaJard MXR Tablet Works

Empagliflozin works by blocking SGLT2 in the kidneys, which reduces glucose reabsorption and allows excess glucose to leave the body through urine.

Metformin helps lower blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s response to insulin. Together, these medicines help improve overall blood sugar control.
