Description

Xenglu-Met XR (12.5mg/1000mg) Tablets is a prescription medicine containing empagliflozin 12.5mg and metformin hydrochloride extended-release (XR) 1000mg. It is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and a single medicine do not provide adequate control. This combination helps manage blood glucose through two complementary mechanisms and supports long-term diabetes care.

Empagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and lowers blood sugar by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine. Metformin XR decreases glucose production in the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and gradually releases the medicine throughout the day, providing sustained blood sugar control. Together, these ingredients help maintain healthy glucose levels while supporting a comprehensive diabetes management plan.

For the best results, Xenglu-Met XR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Continue following a healthy diet, regular exercise routine, and blood sugar monitoring schedule during treatment. This medicine is not intended for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not stop taking the medicine or change the dose without consulting your doctor.
