Description

Xenglu-Met (5mg/1000mg) Tablets is a prescription medicine containing empagliflozin 5mg and metformin hydrochloride 1000mg. It is used to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. This combination medicine is prescribed when lifestyle changes or a single antidiabetic medicine do not provide adequate glucose control.

Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood sugar by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine. Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver, decreasing glucose absorption from the intestine, and improving the body’s response to insulin. Together, these medicines provide complementary blood sugar control and support long-term diabetes management.

For maximum benefit, take Xenglu-Met exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Continue monitoring your blood sugar regularly and maintain your recommended diet and exercise plan. This medicine is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not stop taking the medicine or adjust your dose without consulting your doctor.
