Empashield-L 25/5 10 Tab

Empashield-L 25/5 from La Renon is a fixed-dose tablet that combines a higher strength of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, with linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor. It is used in adults with type 2 diabetes when one medicine alone is not enough.

• Controls blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
• Useful when single therapy does not give enough sugar control
• Combines two complementary actions in one tablet

Empagliflozin makes the kidneys pass extra sugar out in the urine. Linagliptin protects the body's own gut hormones that help release insulin after meals and reduce sugar made by the liver. Together they lower blood sugar in two different ways.

Swallow the tablet with water, as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. Drink enough water during the day to stay hydrated.

• Increased urination
• Urinary tract infections
• Genital yeast infections
• Nasal congestion or sore throat
• Low blood sugar with other diabetes medicines

Tell your doctor about kidney or pancreas problems, a history of pancreatitis, dehydration or low blood pressure. Watch for nausea, vomiting or stomach pain that may signal ketoacidosis and seek care quickly.

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Keep in the original strip and out of reach of children.
