In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as thrush, pain or a burning sensation when you pee, peeing more than normal, and mild skin rash or itchy skin. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

How Empaxis 10 mg Tablet 10's Works

The active ingredient in Empaxis 10 mg Tablet 10's, empagliflozin, belongs to a class of medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It works directly in your kidneys to change how your body handles excess sugar. Normally, your kidneys filter sugar out of your blood and then absorb it back into your body. This medicine blocks that absorption process. Instead of staying in your blood, the excess sugar is filtered out by your kidneys and safely leaves your body through your urine. Along with sugar, this medicine also helps your body remove excess salt and water. This process reduces swelling, lowers blood pressure, and takes physical strain off your heart and blood vessels.
