Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Jardiance is used in several chronic conditions that involve glucose handling and cardiovascular‑renal risk.
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus: improves glycaemic control by lowering blood glucose levels.
  • Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: reduces risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalisation.
  • Chronic kidney disease: slows decline of renal function and reduces albuminuria.

How It Works

  • Empagliflozin selectively inhibits the sodium‑glucose co‑transporter‑2 (SGLT2) located in the proximal renal tubules. By blocking this transporter, it reduces reabsorption of filtered glucose, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion, lower plasma glucose concentrations, and modest osmotic diuresis that contributes to cardiovascular and renal benefits.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Genital mycotic infection: increased risk of yeast infections in both sexes.
  • Urinary tract infection: symptoms such as dysuria and frequency.
  • Increased urination: polyuria leading to mild dehydration.
  • Thirst: secondary to osmotic diuresis.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ketoacidosis: may occur even with modest glucose elevations.
  • Acute kidney injury: especially in volume‑depleted patients.
  • Severe dehydration or hypotension: can lead to syncope.
  • Fournier’s gangrene: necrotising fasciitis of the perineum.
  • Hypersensitivity reactions: including rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before prescribing empagliflozin, clinicians should assess individual risk factors and monitor patients regularly.
  • Renal function monitoring: evaluate eGFR before initiation and periodically thereafter.
  • Volume status: ensure adequate hydration, especially in the elderly or those on diuretics.
  • Blood pressure monitoring: watch for hypotension, particularly in patients with low baseline pressure.
  • Genital infection counseling: advise on hygiene to reduce fungal infection risk.
  • Contraindication in severe renal impairment: avoid use when eGFR is below the recommended threshold.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Empagliflozin may interact with several drug classes, requiring dose adjustments or monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Insulin: additive hypoglycaemia risk; dose reduction may be needed.
  • Loop diuretics: can exacerbate volume depletion and hypotension.
  • Rifampin: may lower empagliflozin plasma concentrations, reducing efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • NSAIDs: may impair renal function, increasing risk of AKI.
  • Thiazide diuretics: can increase the likelihood of dehydration and electrolyte disturbances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jardiance (empagliflozin) is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve blood‑sugar control, for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction to lower the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalisation, and for chronic kidney disease to slow the progression of renal impairment.

Empagliflozin blocks the sodium‑glucose co‑transporter‑2 (SGLT2) in the kidney’s proximal tubules, preventing reabsorption of filtered glucose. The excess glucose is expelled in the urine, which lowers plasma glucose levels and produces a modest diuretic effect that contributes to cardiovascular and renal benefits.

The specific dose of Jardiance is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s clinical condition, renal function, and concomitant therapies. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose without medical advice.

The safety of empagliflozin in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It is generally advised to avoid use during pregnancy and to discontinue breastfeeding while on therapy unless the benefits outweigh potential risks, as decided by a qualified clinician.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Jardiance (empagliflozin) shares the class mechanism of glucose excretion with other SGLT2 inhibitors such as canagliflozin and dapagliflozin. Clinical data suggest comparable glycaemic efficacy, but empagliflozin has distinct cardiovascular outcome evidence showing reduction in cardiovascular death in heart‑failure patients.

Jardiance tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original blister pack or container. Protect the product from excess moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability throughout its shelf life.

Jardiance is taken orally, usually once daily in the morning, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not chewed or crushed, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include ketoacidosis (which can occur with modest glucose levels), acute kidney injury, severe dehydration or hypotension, and rare but life‑threatening infections such as Fournier’s gangrene. Patients should be educated to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or unusual fatigue.

Jardiance is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR below the approved threshold), end‑stage renal disease, or those on dialysis. It should also be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to empagliflozin or any component of the formulation.
