Synjardy

Uses of Synjardy

Synjardy is a medication that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. This medicine is used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. It contains two primary anti-diabetic compounds, empaglifliflozin and metformin.

Synjardy is a medication prescribed to manage high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, which can lead to a variety of complications, including blindness, nerve damage, sexual dysfunction, limb loss, and kidney injury. The medicine also helps to restore the body’s capacity to respond to insulin. Empagliflozin is a SGLT2 inhibitor, which works by aiding the kidney in removing glucose from the bloodstream and preventing its reabsorption. Metformin, on the other hand, works by reducing glucose production in the liver, as well as reducing glucose absorption in the intestine.

Warnings and Precautions

It is strongly advised that individuals who are allergic to the active ingredients of Synjardy, such as emprofloxacin and metformin, do not use it. It is important to note that this medicine may potentially lead to lactic acidosis, and should be reported to a healthcare professional as soon as possible. Additionally, it is important to inform a healthcare professional if a person has a history of liver problems, kidney disease, bladder infection, or congestive heart failure.

Dosage

It is recommended that patients consume one tablet twice daily. The dosage should be based on the patient’s current regimen and tolerability of the medicinal product. The recommended daily dosage is 10 mg (Empagliflozin) or 25 mg (Metformin). The composition of metformin should not exceed that recommended for daily use.
