Description

Adrance-M (12.5/850Mg) is a combination antidiabetic tablet containing Empagliflozin (12.5mg) and Metformin Hydrochloride (850mg), manufactured by Atco Laboratories. It works through two complementary mechanisms: Empagliflozin reduces blood sugar by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, while Metformin lowers blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Each pack contains 14 tablets, offering a mid-strength combination option for adults with type 2 diabetes needing improved blood sugar control.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 12.5mg of Empagliflozin and 850mg of Metformin Hydrochloride, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Adrance-M is available as an oral tablet, taken by mouth with a full glass of water, preferably with a meal.

Uses

Adrance-M is used, alongside diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes who are not adequately managed on a single medication, or in patients already receiving both Empagliflozin and Metformin separately. It also supports cardiovascular and kidney health benefits associated with Empagliflozin. It is not recommended for individuals with type 1 diabetes.

How to Use

Take one tablet daily as directed by your healthcare provider, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not break, crush, or chew it. Take the medication consistently at the same time each day for the best results.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, increased urination, or urinary tract infections. Less commonly, individuals may experience abdominal discomfort, indigestion, or headache. Rare but serious effects can include lactic acidosis (associated with Metformin) or diabetic ketoacidosis (associated with Empagliflozin). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual tiredness, or difficulty breathing.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Adrance-M is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your doctor for suitable alternatives if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Storage Instructions

Store Adrance-M in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children, and do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging.
