Overview
Jardiance 25mg Tablet contains empagliflozin 25mg, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It is used, together with diet and exercise, to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is also established in many markets for reducing the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalisation in adults with heart failure, and for slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease, independent of diabetes status.
Empagliflozin works by blocking SGLT2 transporters in the kidney, which normally reabsorb glucose from the urine back into the blood. By blocking this reabsorption, more glucose is excreted in the urine, lowering blood glucose levels through an insulin-independent mechanism, while also reducing fluid retention and blood pressure.
How it Works
Empagliflozin selectively inhibits SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubule, reducing glucose reabsorption from the kidney’s filtrate and increasing urinary glucose excretion. This lowers blood glucose without depending on insulin secretion or action, and the associated mild osmotic diuresis and natriuresis contribute to its blood pressure-lowering and cardio-renal protective effects.
Directions for Use
Take Jardiance 25mg Tablet once daily in the morning, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with water. Maintain adequate fluid intake, and be especially mindful of hydration during illness, hot weather, or when eating or drinking less than usual, since this medicine increases urine output.
Dosage
The usual dose of Jardiance 25mg Tablet for type 2 diabetes is 10mg once daily, which your doctor may increase to 25mg once daily if additional glucose control is needed and it is tolerated. For heart failure or chronic kidney disease indications, dosing and eligibility are determined individually by your doctor based on your kidney function and clinical status.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jardiance 25mg Tablet used for?
Jardiance 25mg Tablet is used to improve blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes, and in many markets is also approved to reduce cardiovascular risk in heart failure and to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Your doctor will confirm the specific reason it has been prescribed for you.
Can this medicine be used even if I don’t have diabetes?
In several countries empagliflozin is approved for heart failure and chronic kidney disease regardless of diabetes status, because its cardio-renal protective effects occur independently of its blood glucose-lowering effect. Your doctor will explain the specific indication for which it has been prescribed to you.
Why does this medicine increase the risk of genital infections?
Empagliflozin works by increasing the amount of glucose passed out in the urine, which can create conditions favourable for yeast and bacterial growth around the genital area. Good hygiene and prompt treatment of symptoms help manage this risk.
Will this medicine cause low blood sugar on its own?
Taken alone, empagliflozin has a low risk of causing hypoglycaemia because its glucose-lowering mechanism does not depend on stimulating insulin release. The risk increases when it is combined with insulin or a sulfonylurea, so your doctor may adjust those doses.
Do I need to stop this medicine before surgery?
Yes, your doctor or surgical team may advise temporarily stopping this medicine before planned surgery or during acute illness, because of an increased risk of ketoacidosis during periods of physical stress, reduced food intake, or dehydration. Always inform your care team that you take this medicine.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Jardiance 25mg Tablet?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose – in that case, skip the missed dose and continue as normal. Do not double the dose.
