Empaa M XR 25mg/1000mg Tablet is an extended-release combination medicine containing Empagliflozin 25mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. It is prescribed to help manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when combination treatment is appropriate.

Empagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and helps the kidneys remove excess glucose from the body through urine. Metformin helps reduce glucose production by the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. Together, these medicines provide two complementary approaches to blood sugar management.

The XR (extended-release) formulation is designed to release Metformin gradually. Empaa M XR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Uses

Empaa M XR 25mg/1000mg may be prescribed for:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Helping control elevated blood glucose levels
• Improving blood sugar control when one medicine alone is not sufficient
• Supporting diabetes management alongside diet and physical activity

It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes unless specifically directed by a specialist.

Benefits

• Contains Empagliflozin 25mg and Metformin HCl 1000mg
• Combines two different blood-glucose-lowering mechanisms
• Helps reduce excess glucose in the bloodstream
• Extended-release formulation
• Convenient combination treatment for appropriate patients
• Can be used alongside a diabetes diet and exercise plan

How Empaa M XR Works

Empagliflozin blocks the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing the amount of glucose eliminated through urine.

Metformin primarily reduces glucose production by the liver and helps improve insulin sensitivity.

The combination can therefore help lower blood glucose through complementary mechanisms.

Dosage and How to Take

Take Empaa M XR 25mg/1000mg exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the extended-release tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically instructs you otherwise.
• It is commonly taken with a meal to improve tolerability, but follow your prescribed schedule.
• Take it at the same time each day if possible.
• Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor.

The correct dose depends on your medical condition, kidney function, current diabetes treatment, and other medicines you may be taking.

Common Side Effects

Possible side effects may include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach discomfort
• Increased urination
• Genital fungal infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Headache
• Dehydration or dizziness

Side effects vary between individuals. Contact your healthcare professional if symptoms are persistent, severe, or concerning.

Important Precautions

Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, dehydration, recurrent urinary or genital infections, or other significant medical conditions.

Empagliflozin can increase urination and fluid loss, so dehydration can occur, particularly during illness, hot weather, or inadequate fluid intake.

Metformin-containing medicines can rarely be associated with lactic acidosis, a serious condition. Seek urgent medical attention if you develop severe weakness, unusual sleepiness, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, or other serious symptoms.

Do not use this medicine without medical advice during situations such as prolonged fasting, severe illness, or significant dehydration.
