Empagliflozin is an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-2, the transporters primarily responsible for the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney. Empagliflozin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adult patients with both type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease. Empagliflozin is also available as a combination product with either metformin and linagliptin as an adjunct to diet and exercise in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Empagliflozin is not approved for use in patients with type 1 diabetes. Empagliflozin is also approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization due to heart failure in adult patients with heart failure, either alone or in combination with metformin. It is also indicated in adults to reduce the risk of sustained decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization in adults with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression.
