What is empagliflozin used for?

How does empagliflozin work?

empagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works in the kidneys to prevent sugar and sodium (salt) from absorbing back into your body. For Type 2 diabetes: It lowers blood sugar by causing your body to get rid of excess sugar through your urine. For heart failure and CKD: By preventing sodium reabsorption, the heart fills with blood easier and pumps blood more easily throughout the body. This might also improve blood flow through the kidneys and lower the stress on these organs to help slow the worsening of CKD.
