Description

Xenglu-Met (5mg/850mg) Tablets is a prescription medicine containing empagliflozin 5mg and metformin hydrochloride 850mg. It is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications alone do not provide adequate control. The combination of these two medicines helps lower blood glucose levels through complementary mechanisms and supports long-term diabetes management.

Empagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class and works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose from the bloodstream through urine. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, decreases glucose absorption from the intestine, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, these ingredients help maintain stable blood sugar levels while reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications when used with healthy eating and regular physical activity.

Take Xenglu-Met exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Continue following your recommended meal plan, exercise routine, and blood sugar monitoring schedule throughout treatment. This medicine is not intended for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not change the dose or stop taking the medication without medical advice.
