WHAT SYNJARDY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT SYNJARDY IS
Synjardy contains two active substances empagliflozin and metformin.
Each belongs to a group of
medicines called “oral anti-diabetics”. These are medicines taken
by mouth to treat type 2 diabetes.
WHAT IS TYPE 2 DIABETES?
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that comes from both your genes and your
lifestyle. If you have type 2
diabetes, your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the
level of glucose in your blood,
and your body is unable to use its own insulin effectively. This
results in high levels of glucose in your
blood which can lead to medical problems like heart disease, kidney
disease, blindness, and poor
circulation in your limbs.
HOW SYNJARDY WORKS
Empagliflozin belongs to a group of medicines called sodium glucose
co-transporter-2 (SGLT2)
inhibitors. It works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys.
This causes blood sugar (glucose)
to be removed in your urine. Metformin
