Expert Advice

Empagliflozin is used alone or in combination with other diabetic medications to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and prevent the development of serious problems. It is possible that taking Empagliflozin can cause your body to lose too much fluid, resulting in dehydration, or you will urinate more frequently. Maintain your body's water balance by drinking plenty of fluids. It is possible that Empagliflozin when combined with other antidiabetic medications, alcohol, or when meals are delayed or missed, can result in hypoglycemia. Always keep some sweet food or fruit juice with you in case you start experiencing signs of hypoglycemia, such as cold sweats, chilly pale skin, tremors, and anxiety. Maintaining proper hygiene is essential while taking Empagliflozin because it may cause genital fungal infections or urinary tract infections (UTIs) in both females and males. While taking Empagliflozin, you should monitor your blood sugar frequently. If you have persistent dizziness, joint pain, cold-like symptoms, or unexplained nausea or vomiting, consult your doctor immediately.
