stuffy or runny nose and sore throat
upper respiratory tract infection
Precautions & Warnings
Pancreatitis: There have been reports of acute pancreatitis, including fatal pancreatitis. If pancreatitis is suspected, promptly discontinue this tablet.Ketoacidosis: Assess patients who present with signs and symptoms of metabolic acidosis for ketoacidosis, regardless of blood glucose level. If suspected, discontinue this tablet, evaluate and treat promptly. Before initiating this tablet, consider risk factors for ketoacidosis. Patients on this tablet may require monitoring and temporary discontinuation of therapy in clinical situations known to predispose to ketoacidosis.Volume Depletion: Before initiating this tablet, assess volume status and renal function in patients with impaired renal function, elderly patients, or patients on loop diuretics. Monitor for signs and symptoms during therapy.Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis: Evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections and treat promptly, if indicated.Hypoglycemia: Consider lowering the dose of insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when initiating this tablet.Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene): Serious, life-threatening cases have occurred in both females and males. Assess patients presenting with pain or tenderness, erythema, or swelling in the genital or perineal area, along with fever or malaise. If suspected, institute prompt treatment.Genital Mycotic Infections: Monitor and treat as appropriate.Hypersensitivity Reactions: Serious hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, angioedema, and exfoliative skin conditions) have occurred with empagliflozin and linagliptin. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue this tablet, treat promptly, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve.Arthralgia: Severe and disabling arthralgia has been reported in patients taking DPP-4 inhibitors. Consider as a possible cause for severe joint pain and discontinue drug if appropriate.Bullous Pemphigoid: There have been reports of bullous pemphigoid requiring hospitalization. Tell patients to report the development of blisters or erosions. If bullous pemphigoid is suspected, discontinue this tablet.Heart Failure: Heart failure has been observed with two other members of the DPP-4 inhibitor class. Consider risks and benefits of this tablet in patients who have known risk factors for heart failure. Monitor for signs and symptoms.
Storage Conditions
Keep below 30°C temperature, away from light & moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
Mode Of Action
Empagliflozin: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) is the predominant transporter responsible for the reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate back into the circulation.
Absorption
Empagliflozin is an inhibitor of SGLT2. Linagliptin: Linagliptin is an inhibitor of DPP-4, an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).
Distribution
Thus, linagliptin increases the concentrations of active incretin hormones, stimulating the release of insulin in a glucose-dependent manner and decreasing the levels of glucagon in the circulation. Both incretin hormones are involved in the physiological regulation of glucose homeostasis.
Metabolism
Furthermore, GLP-1 also reduces glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells, resulting in a reduction in hepatic glucose output.
Excretion
By inhibiting SGLT2, empagliflozin reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, and thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion.
Pregnancy
Advise females of the potential risk to a fetus, especially during the second and third trimesters. This is not recommended when breastfeeding.
