What is Jardiance and what is it used for:

Jardiance (Empagliflozin) is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, which increases glucose excretion in the urine and lowers blood sugar levels. Jardiance is usually taken in combination with a healthy diet and exercise program.

How to take Jardiance:

Jardiance is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to take Jardiance exactly as prescribed by the doctor.

Possible side effects of Jardiance:

Jardiance may cause some side effects, including:

• Dehydration
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Urinary tract infections
• Yeast infections
• Low blood pressure
• High blood potassium levels
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when used in combination with insulin or other glucose-lowering medications

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Precautions and warnings for Jardiance:

Before taking Jardiance, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as kidney problems, liver problems, or a history of diabetic ketoacidosis. Jardiance may interact with certain medications, including insulin and other glucose-lowering medications, and may increase the risk of low blood sugar levels. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.

Jardiance is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It is unknown if Jardiance passes into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Jardiance while breastfeeding.

It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Jardiance. Jardiance is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
