About this product
Overview
Glempa 10mg Tablet is a medication containing the active ingredient empagliflozin. It belongs to the class of medications known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. This medication is primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels.
Active Ingredient
- Empagliflozin: Empagliflozin works by inhibiting the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys. This action reduces the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney tubules, leading to increased urinary excretion of glucose and consequently lowering blood sugar levels.
Uses
Glempa 10mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps improve glycemic control by promoting the excretion of glucose in the urine, thereby reducing blood sugar levels.
Mechanism of Action
Empagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. By blocking this transporter, empagliflozin reduces the reabsorption of glucose from the urine back into the bloodstream. As a result, more glucose is excreted in the urine, leading to a decrease in blood sugar levels.
