Coport Tablet 25 mg contains Empagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. By preventing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, it promotes urinary glucose excretion, effectively lowering blood sugar levels. This higher-strength formulation is suitable for patients who require stronger glycemic control or have not achieved adequate results with lower doses.
