Empacrux S 10mg/100mg Tablet

The EMPACRUX S 10mg/100mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients:

• Empagliflozin (10 mg): A sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar levels by preventing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion in urine. 
• Sitagliptin (100 mg): A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that enhances insulin release and decreases glucagon levels in the blood, thereby improving blood sugar control.
