Empli Met XR 25mg/5mg/1000mg

Empli Met XR 25mg/5mg/1000mg, made by Horizon Pharmaceutical Pvt Ltd, is a three-in-one diabetes medicine. Its active ingredient is Empagliflozin + Linagliptin + Metformin 25mg/5mg, and it is used for type 2 diabetes.

Uses of Empli Met XR 25mg/5mg/1000mg

Empli Met XR 25mg/5mg/1000mg is used in adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled on two of these medicines, or who already take all three separately. Combining them in one tablet reduces the number of pills. Better blood sugar control lowers the long-term risk of complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart. It should be used together with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How Empli Met XR 25mg/5mg/1000mg works

Empagliflozin helps the kidneys remove extra sugar in the urine. Linagliptin increases the body’s own insulin release after meals and lowers glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar. Metformin reduces sugar production by the liver and helps the body respond better to insulin. Together they target three different causes of high blood sugar.

Possible side effects

Not everyone gets them, but common side effects of Empli Met XR 25mg/5mg/1000mg include:

• Genital yeast infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Nausea or diarrhoea
• Passing more urine and feeling thirsty
• Low blood sugar when used with insulin or a sulfonylurea

Get urgent medical help for nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, deep fast breathing or unusual drowsiness, which can signal ketoacidosis or lactic acidosis even when blood sugar is not very high. Also seek help for severe stomach pain spreading to the back, or pain, redness or swelling around the genitals.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it with meals, drink enough fluids, and tell your doctor if you are unwell with vomiting or diarrhoea or are not eating, as it may need to be paused.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, heart failure or a history of pancreatitis, and inform the hospital before surgery or scans with contrast dye.
• Avoid heavy drinking, as alcohol increases the risk of lactic acidosis and low blood sugar.
• It is not used for type 1 diabetes and should not be taken in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
• Keep the genital area clean and dry, and continue regular blood sugar, kidney and eye checks.
