Dosage
Missed a Dose
You should never miss your blood sugar medication, as it may lead to high blood sugar and associated symptoms. However, if you missed any dose of the medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed one....
Overdose
If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.
Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- In Type 2 diabetes, your pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control the level of glucose in your blood, and thus your body is unable to utilise its insulin effectively. Certain proteins like sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) in the kidney, helps to maintain blood sugar levels by retaining glucose from urine. Empagliflozin blocks the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys. This causes an excess of blood sugar to be removed from your urine. Thereby this medicine lowers the amount of sugar in your blood....
- Sitagliptin works by increasing insulin production in the body after a meal and decreasing sugar production.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Tell your doctor about all the medications, supplements, or herbs you are currently taking or may take to avoid any potential interactions.
- In particular, if you are taking medications to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, high or abnormal cholesterol levels, blood thinners, anti-infectives, antidiabetics, antihistamines, painkillers, immunomodulatory medicines, or medications for brain-related disorders....
