Coport M Tablet combines Empagliflozin 5 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg, providing a dual-action approach to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, helps lower blood sugar by increasing glucose excretion through the urine, while Metformin Hydrochloride, a biguanide, reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they provide effective glycemic control, help reduce HbA1c levels, and support overall metabolic health.

Indications
Coport M Tablet 5 mg + 500 mg is indicated for:
-
Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled by diet and exercise

Patients requiring combination therapy for improved blood glucose management
-
Adjunct therapy with lifestyle modifications to reduce cardiovascular risk
-
Individuals not achieving adequate glycemic control with Metformin or Empagliflozin monotherapy
Mechanism of Action
-
Empagliflozin (5 mg): Selectively inhibits SGLT2 in the kidneys, decreasing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion, which lowers blood glucose levels.

Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg): Decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity, promoting better glucose uptake in peripheral tissues.
The combination provides complementary effects for improved glycemic control, weight management, and low risk of hypoglycemia.
