Glifomet Tablet is a combination antidiabetic medicine containing Empagliflozin and Metformin Hydrochloride, used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This dual-action formulation helps control blood sugar levels effectively by improving insulin sensitivity and promoting the removal of excess glucose through urine. It is commonly prescribed along with proper diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Empagliflozin belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class. It works by preventing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, allowing excess sugar to be excreted through urine. Metformin Hydrochloride is a biguanide antidiabetic agent that decreases glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin.

The combined effect of these two medicines helps lower fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels while also supporting weight management and cardiovascular health in diabetic patients. Glifomet Tablet may reduce the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes when used regularly under medical supervision.
