Jardiance contains Empagliflozin, a breakthrough medication belonging to the class of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It is specifically engineered to change how the body handles glucose. Unlike older diabetes drugs that focus on insulin, Jardiance works directly on the kidneys. It blocks the reabsorption of glucose back into the bloodstream, allowing excess sugar to be eliminated from the body through the urine. This unique "glucose-clearing" action not only lowers blood sugar but also provides significant protection for the heart and kidneys.
Product Type: SGLT2 Inhibitor (Antidiabetic / Cardioprotective)
Active Ingredient: Empagliflozin (25mg)
Manufacturer: Boehringer Ingelheim & Eli Lilly (Original Brand)
Pack Size: 10, 28, or 30 Tablets
Route: Oral
Availability: Strictly Prescription Required (POM) — Physician consultation mandatory
Suitable For: Adults with Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Failure, or Chronic Kidney Disease
The 25mg dose is the maximum strength, often used for intensive glucose control and long-term organ protection:
Type 2 Diabetes: Lowering HbA1c levels in adults, often when metformin alone is not enough.
Cardiovascular Protection: Reducing the risk of "cardiovascular death" in adults with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease.
Heart Failure (HFrEF/HFpEF): Reducing the risk of hospitalization and death in patients with heart failure, regardless of whether they have diabetes.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Slowing the progression of kidney damage and reducing the risk of end-stage renal disease.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA): While rare, Jardiance can cause a life-threatening condition called DKA, even if blood sugar levels are nearly normal ("Euglycemic DKA"). If you experience nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or difficulty breathing, stop taking Jardiance and seek emergency care immediately. Genital Infections: Because sugar is eliminated through the urine, yeast infections (thrush) or urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common. Maintain excellent hygiene. Fournier’s Gangrene: Seek immediate medical attention for pain, tenderness, or swelling in the genital/anal area. Dehydration: Jardiance acts as a mild diuretic. Ensure you drink plenty of water to prevent low blood pressure and dizziness. Foot Health: Like all diabetes patients, monitor your feet daily for sores or infections.
For maximum efficacy, Jardiance should be taken consistently to maintain a steady glucose-clearing effect.
Standard Dosage:
Adults: Typically starts at 10mg once daily. Your doctor may increase this to one 25mg tablet once daily for better sugar control.
Application Tips:
Morning Routine: It is best taken in the morning. Taking it later in the day may increase the need to urinate during the night.
With or Without Food: You can take the tablet with or without a meal.
Hydration: Aim for at least 2 liters of water daily to support your kidneys and avoid dehydration.
Surgery Alert: If you are scheduled for surgery or are fasting, you must stop Jardiance at least 3 days prior (as directed by your surgeon) to avoid the risk of DKA.
Common side effects include increased urination, thirst, and mild genital itching. Some patients may experience a slight decrease in blood pressure. If you feel extremely weak, confused, or have a fever accompanied by back pain (signs of a kidney infection), contact your doctor or Sanlive Pharmacy immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from moisture. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until use. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Will it make me "Lose Weight"?
A: Many patients experience modest weight loss (usually 2–3kg) because the body is literally flushing calories (sugar) out through the urine.
Q: Can I take it for "Type 1 Diabetes"?
A: No. Jardiance is currently only approved for Type 2 Diabetes. Using it for Type 1 significantly increases the risk of life-threatening ketoacidosis.
Q: Why is my "Urine Test" always positive for sugar?
A: This is normal! Jardiance works by putting sugar into your urine. A "glucose urine test" will always be positive while you are on this medication.
Q: Can I take it with "Metformin"?
A: Yes. They are frequently used together because they work in different ways to lower your blood sugar.
