Understanding Jardiance and Its Uses
Jardiance (empagliflozin) is an FDA-approved medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It also lowers the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and slows kidney disease progression. The active ingredient works by promoting glucose excretion via the kidneys.
How Does Jardiance Work?
Jardiance is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It blocks SGLT2 proteins in the kidneys, resulting in increased glucose elimination through urine. This helps manage blood sugar levels and reduces cardiovascular risks associated with type 2 diabetes.
Who Can Take Jardiance?
Adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, especially those with existing cardiovascular disease or risk factors, may be prescribed Jardiance. It is also beneficial for patients with heart failure or chronic kidney disease as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
