Description
Jardiance is a prescription medication containing empagliflozin, an oral SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitor that helps manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes. It is also FDA- and EMA-approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in people with heart failure and to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Jardiance works by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion through urine. This results in improved glycemic control, along with secondary benefits such as modest weight loss and lower blood pressure.
It is commonly used alongside diet, exercise, and sometimes in combination with other antidiabetic or cardiovascular medications for broader therapeutic effect.
