Truglif Met 12.5mg/500mg Tablet (Empagliflozin/Metformin) is an oral anti-diabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus.

It combines two effective agents that help lower blood sugar levels through different mechanisms.

Empagliflozin removes excess glucose through urine, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver.

This medicine is prescribed when diet, exercise, or single therapy is not enough to control blood sugar.

It helps improve glycemic control and may also support weight management.

Regular use reduces the risk of long-term complications such as heart and kidney problems.
