About this product
Overview
Empaa 10mg Tablet contains empagliflozin, which belongs to a class of medications known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It is primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagliflozin works by inhibiting SGLT2 in the kidneys, thereby reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
