Description

Empagen-L 5/10mg Tablets contain Empagliflozin + Linagliptin and are made by Ferozsons Laboratories. Empagliflozin removes extra sugar through the urine, and linagliptin raises the body’s own incretin hormones to improve insulin release after meals. Together they give two complementary ways of controlling blood sugar. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
