Empagliflozin is a medication used to help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar levels. It works by helping the kidneys remove excess sugar from the body through urine. This can lower your blood sugar and reduce the risk of heart-related problems in some cases. It's important to use Empagliflozin as prescribed by your doctor and alongside a healthy diet and exercise to manage your diabetes effectively.
