WHAT GLYXAMBI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT GLYXAMBI IS
Glyxambi contains two active substances called empagliflozin and
linagliptin. 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 condition that comes from both your genes and
your lifestyle. If you have type 2
diabetes, your pancreas may 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 sugar in your
blood, which can lead to medical problems like heart disease, kidney
disease, blindness, and poor
circulation in your limbs.
HOW GLYXAMBI 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. Linagliptin works in a different way,
namely by enabling the pancreas to
produce more insulin to lower blo
