Empagen Trio Tablet 10mg/5mg/1000mg is a triple combination antidiabetic medicine containing Empagliflozin 10mg, Linagliptin 5mg, and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. It is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, or single/dual therapy is not enough to control blood sugar levels.

This medicine works through three complementary mechanisms:

• Empagliflozin helps remove excess glucose through urine
