Empagen Trio Tablet 12.5mg/2.5mg/1000mg is a triple combination antidiabetic medicine containing Empagliflozin 12.5mg, Linagliptin 2.5mg, 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 different mechanisms:
