Empagliflozin

Empagliflozin is a medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping the kidneys remove excess sugar from the bloodstream through urine. It works by blocking a protein called SGLT2, which normally reabsorbs sugar in the kidneys. By preventing this reabsorption, empagliflozin lowers blood sugar levels. Additionally, it may help with weight loss and reduce blood pressure. It is usually prescribed alongside other diabetes treatments and requires medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
