Description
Empadon L Tablet helps manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. It works by helping your body use insulin more effi
ciently, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. You can take it with or without food at any time of day, but for best results, try to take it at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the specific dosage for you. Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can cause your blood sugar to spike, leading to serious complications like kidney damage or blindness. Common side effects of Empadon L Tablet include urinary tract infections, nasopharyngitis, and upper respiratory tract infections. Before starting this medication, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, a urinary tract infection, or if you're taking diuretics (water pills). If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss use with your doctor. It's best to limit alcohol while on this medication, as it might increase specific side effects. Remember to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly throughout your treatment.
