How Gibtulio Met Products work
Empagliflozin + Metformin is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Empagliflozin + Metformin1 and Empagliflozin + Metformin2. Empagliflozin + Metformin1 works by removing excess glucose from your body through urine. Empagliflozin + Metformin2 works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, they lower blood glucose more effectively.
