What is Jardiance(Empagliflozin)?

Jardiance is a medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by lowering blood sugar levels by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose by the kidney and promoting its elimination in the urine.

Jardiance is part of a class of drugs known as sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It is taken orally, typically once a day, with or without food.

The active ingredient in Jardiance is empagliflozin, which is designed to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. In clinical trials, Jardiance has been shown to be effective at lowering HbA1c levels, which is a measure of long-term blood sugar control. Additionally, Jardiance has been shown to have a positive impact on body weight and blood pressure in people with type 2 diabetes.

Jardiance is typically used as an add-on therapy in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin. The decision to use Jardiance should be made by a healthcare provider in consultation with the patient.
