✅ Description:
Empadus M 5/1000ER combines two complementary antidiabetic agents:
- Empagliflozin – an SGLT2 inhibitor that enhances urinary glucose excretion
- Metformin Hydrochloride (Extended Release) – a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity
This combination is used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with established cardiovascular disease.

✔️ How does Empadus M 5/1000 ER work?
Empagliflozin blocks the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing glucose excretion via urine.
Metformin ER suppresses hepatic glucose output and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity.
Together, they offer synergistic blood sugar control.
