Description

Xenglu-Met (5mg/500mg) Tablets contains empagliflozin 5mg and metformin hydrochloride 500mg, a prescription combination medicine used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is recommended when healthy eating, regular exercise, and a single diabetes medicine are not enough to maintain target blood glucose levels. By combining two proven antidiabetic medicines, Xenglu-Met provides effective glucose control and supports long-term diabetes management.

Empagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and helps lower blood sugar by removing excess glucose through the urine. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, decreases intestinal glucose absorption, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, these medicines help maintain stable blood sugar levels while complementing a healthy lifestyle.

Take Xenglu-Met exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Continue following your recommended diet, exercise routine, and regular blood sugar monitoring schedule throughout treatment. This medicine is not suitable for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not stop taking the medicine or change your dose without consulting your doctor.
