What is Jardiance 10mg tablets and what it is used for?

What Jardiance 10mg is

Jardiance 10mg tablets contain the active substance empagliflozin. Jardiance is a member of a group of medicines called sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

What Jardiance 10mg is used for

Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Jardiance is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adult patients (aged 18 years and older) that cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone.
• Jardiance can be used without other medicines in patients who cannot take metformin (another diabetes medicine).
• Jardiance can also be used with other medicines for the treatment of diabetes. These may be medicines taken by mouth or given by injection such as insulin.

How does Jardiance work?

Jardiance works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys. This causes blood sugar (glucose) to be removed in your urine. Thereby Jardiance lowers the amount of sugar in your blood. This medicine can also help prevent heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

It is important that you continue with your diet and exercise plan as told by your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

Heart failure

• Jardiance is used to treat heart failure in adult patients with symptoms due to a weak pump function of the heart

What is heart failure?

This type of heart failure occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. This can lead to serious medical problems and need for hospital care.
The most common symptoms of heart failure are feeling breathless, feeling tired or very tired all the time, and ankle swelling.
Jardiance helps protect your heart from getting weaker and improves your symptoms.

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.

• Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
• It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
• It’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
• It’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don’t necessarily make you feel unwell.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

• peeing more than usual, particularly at night
• feeling thirsty all the time
• feeling very tired
• losing weight without trying to
• itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
• cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
• blurred vision

You’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:

• are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
• have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
• are overweight or obese
• are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK

Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication

Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.

The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.

Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.
