View company portfolio →What Zucker (Empagliflozin) is used for
Empagliflozin is a prescription tablet from a group of medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors. It makes the kidneys remove extra sugar from the blood and pass it out in the urine, which lowers blood sugar. It also helps the heart and kidneys: it eases the work the heart has to do in heart failure, and lowers pressure and inflammation inside the kidneys. It controls these conditions but does not cure them, so you keep taking it unless your doctor tells you to stop.
- Type 2 diabetes in adults, along with a healthy diet and exercise
- Type 2 diabetes when metformin cannot be taken, or together with other diabetes medicines, including insulin
- Lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke or death in certain people with type 2 diabetes
- Heart failure, to lower the risk of it getting worse and of going into hospital. It can be used in people who do not have diabetes.
- Chronic kidney disease in adults, to slow it getting worse. It is added to usual kidney treatment.
Get medical help straight away if

- Get urgent medical help for signs of diabetic ketoacidosis (a dangerous build-up of ketones in the blood): feeling or being sick, stomach pain, great thirst, confusion or unusual tiredness, fruity-smelling breath, or fast, deep breathing. This can happen even when blood sugar is not very high.
