Benefits of Empanef Tablet

Treatment of Heart Failure
In adults with heart failure, Empanef 10 Tablet helps reduce the risk of hospitalization and death due to heart-related causes. It helps the body get rid of extra salt and water, which lessens the strain on the heart and improves symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness, and swelling in the legs. Improving the heart’s function and reducing flare-ups help patients stay more active and maintain independence in their daily lives.

Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Empanef 10 Tablet helps lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes when used in combination with a balanced diet and regular exercise. It improves blood sugar control and supports heart and kidney health, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. When used regularly, it helps patients achieve stable blood sugar levels, making daily activities easier and improving their overall quality of life.

Treatment of Chronic kidney disease
In people with chronic kidney disease, Empanef 10 Tablet helps slow the worsening of kidney function and reduces the risk of progression to kidney failure or the need for dialysis.

How Empanef Tablet works

Empanef 10 Tablet works by selectively blocking a protein in the kidneys called the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2). This protein is responsible for reabsorbing glucose from the urine back into the bloodstream. Empanef 10 Tablet inhibits this protein, causing the excess glucose to be eliminated through the urine, which helps lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, this process leads to mild salt and water loss, helping to reduce the workload on the heart and protect kidney function, thereby lowering the risk of heart failure and progression of chronic kidney disease.
