Brief Description
Indication
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Administration
May be taken with or without food.
Adult Dose
Oral
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Adult: Initially, 10 mg once daily in the morning, may be increased to 25 mg once daily, if necessary for additional glycemic control.
Renal Dose
CrCl (mL/min)
<45 Contraindicated.
<60 Max: 10 mg daily.
Contraindication
As treatment for type 1 DM or diabetic ketoacidosis. Renal impairment (CrCl <45 mL/min), ESRD, or patients on haemodialysis. Lactation.
Mode of Action
Empagliflozin is a reversible inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), the main site of filtered glucose re-absorption in the renal proximal convoluted tubules. This reduces re-absorption of filtered glucose and lowers renal threshold for glucose, resulting in increased urinary glucose excretion, thereby reducing blood glucose concentration.
Precaution
Hypotension: Before initiating Empagliflozin, volume status should be assessed and correction on hypovolemia should be made in the elderly, in patients with renal impairment, in patients with low systolic blood pressure and in patients on diuretics since Empagliflozin causes intravascular volume contraction. Impairment in Renal Function: Renal function should be evaluated prior to initiating Empagliflozin and periodically thereafter since Empagliflozin increases serum creatinine and decreases eGFR. Hypoglycemia: In patients taking insulin or an insulin secretagogue with Empagliflozin, a lower dose of insulin or the insulin secretagogue is considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
