Coglyzin
Empagliflozin
Empagliflozin is one of the active ingredients in this drug in class of selective inhibitors of sodium-glucose
cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), which affects the proximal tubules of the kidneys. It reduces the reabsorption of
glucose/sodium, leading to increased excretion of glucose through urine, thus resulting in a decrease in blood
sugar levels
Metformin
Metformin, another active ingredient, acts through reducing gluconeogenesis in the liver, decreasing intestinal
absorption of glucose, and increasing peripheral glucose utilization. Essentially, this drug enhances the response
to endogenous insulin.

Tablet
Empagliflozin and metformin are a combination with synergistic effects. Empagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption, while metformin primarily targets hepatic glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This dual mechanism regulates glucose in various aspects, leading to improved glycemic control and potential cardiovascular benefits.
Blood Sugar Control:
Blood sugar refers to the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream, derived mainly from the food we consume and serving as the primary energy source for body cells. Consistent fluctuations in blood sugar levels can lead to
