Description and Usage:

Jardy-Met is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Empagliflozin and Metformin Hydrochloride. This combination is often prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Empagliflozin:

• Class: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
• Mechanism of Action: Empagliflozin works by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased urinary excretion of glucose and a reduction in blood glucose levels.
• Indication: Used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Metformin Hydrochloride:

• Class: Biguanide.
• Mechanism of Action: Metformin primarily reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
• Indication: Metformin is commonly used as a first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
