Synjardy Information

Synjardy (Empagliflozin/Metformin Hydrochloride) is a prescription medication used along with dietary changes and lifestyle modifications to control high blood sugar in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is typically used to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes who are not effectively managed with metformin alone or with metformin combined with other antidiabetic medications. Empagliflozin, one of its components, helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition in which the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't effectively use the insulin it produces, resulting in high blood glucose (sugar) levels and eventual damage to blood vessels, nerves, and end organs. Synjardy’s control of diabetes may help reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke associated with diabetes. Its active ingredients are empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride, which belong to the classes of oral hypoglycemic agents, namely sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and biguanides, respectively.

Empagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion. Metformin helps reduce glucose production by the liver and the absorption of glucose from the gut. It also improves the body's use of insulin. It is worth noting that this medication is not recommended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. It should also not be used in life-threatening complications of diabetes known as diabetic ketoacidosis.
