Overview
Empiget M 12.5/1000mg is a prescription combination medicine for type 2 diabetes, containing empagliflozin and metformin. Empagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through the urine, while metformin reduces glucose production by the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. Together they provide better blood sugar control than one medicine alone, helping adults manage type 2 diabetes alongside diet and exercise, with the higher 1000mg metformin strength.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Empiget M is usually taken twice daily with meals, to reduce the chance of stomach upset, swallowed whole with water. Drink enough fluids to stay hydrated. Do not change the dose or stop without medical advice, and keep up with regular blood sugar checks.
This is a prescription medicine. Tell your doctor about kidney or liver problems. Metformin is not suitable in significant kidney impairment. Stop and seek urgent care for signs of lactic acidosis (rare): rapid breathing, severe weakness, muscle pain or feeling very cold; or ketoacidosis (nausea, vomiting, drowsiness). May cause genital/urinary infections, dehydration and stomach upset. Metformin should be paused around contrast-dye scans or serious illness. Limit alcohol. Avoid in pregnancy/breastfeeding unless advised. Store in a cool, dry place. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice.
