Jardiance (Empagliflozin)

Jardiance Information:

Jardiance (Empagliflozin) is a prescription oral diabetes medication that is used to control blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is also used to lower the risk of death from heart attack, stroke, or heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes who also have heart disease. Jardiance belongs to a class of drugs called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2(SGLT) inhibitors. This medication works by blocking the reabsorption of blood sugar by the kidneys, increasing glucose excretion in urine and lowering blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It may help prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs and sexual function problems by controlling high blood sugar. The beneficial effect on your blood sugar levels may begin quickly within the first one to two weeks and it may take up to weeks for the full therapeutic results with the treatment.
