WHAT JARDIANCE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT JARDIANCE IS
Jardiance contains the active substance empagliflozin.
Jardiance is a member of a group of medicines called sodium glucose
co-transporter-2 (SGLT2)
inhibitors.
WHAT JARDIANCE IS USED FOR
TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Jardiance is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults and children aged
10 years and older that
cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Jardiance can be used without other medicines in patients who cannot
take metformin (another
diabetes medicine).

Jardiance can also be used with other medicines for the treatment of
diabetes. These may be
medicines taken by mouth or given by injection such as insulin.
Jardiance works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys. This
causes blood sugar (glucose) to
be removed in your urine. Thereby Jardiance lowers the amount of sugar
in your blood.
This medicine can also help prevent heart disease in patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus.
It is important that you continue with your diet and exercise plan as
told by your doctor, pharmacist or
nurse.
