Synjardy

How Synjardy Works: Synjardy works through two distinct mechanisms to help manage blood sugar levels:

1. Empagliflozin: Blocks the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion in the urine and lower blood sugar levels.
2. Metformin: Reduces glucose production by the liver and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin.

Usage and Benefits: Synjardy is typically taken orally, usually once or twice a day, with meals. Benefits of Synjardy include:

1. Blood Sugar Control: The combination of empagliflozin and metformin helps lower blood sugar levels, particularly after meals.
2. Weight Management: Empagliflozin may lead to weight loss due to its mechanism of increasing glucose excretion.

Side Effects: Common side effects of Synjardy may include:

• Urinary tract infections
• Yeast infections
• Increased urination
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Diarrhea

Serious side effects are rare but can include lactic acidosis (with metformin use) and dehydration (due to increased urination).

Contraindications: Synjardy may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications include:

• Severe kidney impairment
• History of hypersensitivity to empagliflozin or metformin
• Metabolic acidosis
• Dehydration

Signs and Symptoms: If you experience any of the following signs or symptoms while using Synjardy, seek medical attention:

• Severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
• Rapid or shallow breathing
