Description

Description

Emsyn 25mg is an oral tablet formulated with Empagliflozin, a medicine belonging to the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class. It works by reducing the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, allowing excess sugar to be removed from the body through urine rather than staying in the bloodstream. This higher strength is typically prescribed once a patient’s response to the 10mg dose has been assessed, allowing for stronger blood sugar control when needed. Beyond glucose management, Empagliflozin is also associated with reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. The pack contains 14 tablets, suitable for continued daily use as part of an overall diabetes care plan.

Ingredients

Each Emsyn 25mg tablet contains 25mg of Empagliflozin as its active ingredient. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients such as binders, fillers, and a film coating, which help maintain the tablet’s structure and support consistent absorption once ingested. Patients with known sensitivities to any inactive ingredients should check the packaging or consult a pharmacist before beginning treatment.

Dosage Form

Emsyn 25mg is supplied as a solid, film-coated oral tablet, meant to be swallowed whole with water, without crushing, breaking, or chewing.

Uses

Emsyn 25mg is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, alongside a proper diet and exercise routine. It may be used as a standalone treatment when Metformin is not suitable, or in combination with other diabetes medicines as part of a broader treatment plan, particularly for patients requiring a stronger glucose-lowering effect than the 10mg dose provides. Beyond glucose management, Emsyn 25mg is also used to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes.

How to Use

Emsyn 25mg should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor, typically once daily, with or without food, and swallowed whole with a glass of water. This higher strength is usually reached gradually, once a patient has tolerated the lower dose well, so it should never be started or increased independently. Alongside this medicine, patients are encouraged to maintain a strict diet and exercise routine to achieve the best possible results. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered; however, two doses should never be taken on the same day to make up for a missed one.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Emsyn 25mg include increased urination, dizziness, and a higher likelihood of urinary tract or genital infections due to increased glucose in the urine. Some patients may also experience dehydration or mild digestive discomfort, and these effects may be somewhat more noticeable at this higher strength. Less commonly, more serious effects can occur, including a rare but serious infection of the genital and surrounding tissue that requires urgent medical attention, changes in liver function, or an increase in blood cell concentration. Any combination of pain, tenderness, redness, or swelling in the genital area should be reported to a doctor immediately, as should any other unusual or severe symptoms.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Emsyn 25mg is generally not recommended during pregnancy, as the safety of Empagliflozin for a developing baby has not been fully established. Its use during breastfeeding is also generally discouraged due to limited safety data. Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before starting this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Emsyn 25mg tablets should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and excess heat. The tablets should be kept in their original packaging until needed and stored well out of the reach of children and pets. Tablets should not be used past their expiry date, and any expired or unused tablets should be disposed of properly.
