Description

Xenglu-Met XR (10mg/1000mg) Tablets is a prescription medicine containing empagliflozin 10mg and metformin hydrochloride extended-release (XR) 1000mg. It is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when lifestyle changes alone are not enough. This combination medicine works through two different mechanisms to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels and support long-term diabetes management.

Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps the kidneys remove excess glucose from the body through urine, lowering blood sugar levels. Metformin XR decreases glucose production in the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and gradually releases the medicine throughout the day for sustained blood sugar control. Together, these ingredients provide effective glucose management while complementing a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

Take Xenglu-Met XR exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Continue following your recommended meal plan, exercise routine, and blood sugar monitoring schedule during treatment. This medicine is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not stop taking the medication or adjust the dose without consulting your doctor.
