Coport Tablet 10 mg contains Empagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. By promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine, Empagliflozin helps lower blood sugar levels and supports better glycemic control. This tablet is particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes who require additional therapy alongside diet and exercise.

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults

Mechanism of Action

Empagliflozin works by selectively inhibiting SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubules. This reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion and a consequent reduction in blood glucose levels. Additionally, it may promote mild weight loss and lower blood pressure.
