Jardiance 25 mg tablet

## What Is Jardiance 25 mg Tablet? Jardiance 25 mg tablet is a prescription medication containing empagliflozin 25 mg as its active ingredient. It belongs to a drug category called SGLT2 inhibitors, A group that works through the kidneys rather than directly on insulin. The tablet is taken by mouth. It is used in adults managing type 2 diabetes and certain heart conditions. ## Why Is Jardiance 25 mg Tablet Given? Doctors prescribe empagliflozin 25 mg for two main reasons. First, it helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Second, it reduces the risk of serious heart events in adults who already have heart disease. One drug, two conditions. Some doctors also discuss jardiance 25 mg weight loss effects with patients. The mechanism causes the body to lose calories through urine. This is a secondary effect though, not the main reason it gets prescribed. ## How Jardiance 25 mg Tablet Works? The kidney normally filters sugar and sends it back into the blood. Empagliflozin 25 mg blocks the protein responsible for that specifically the SGLT2 transporter. When that protein is blocked, excess sugar passes out through urine instead of re-entering the bloodstream. Blood sugar drops as a result. This process also lowers the fluid volume the heart has to pump. That is part of why it helps people with heart disease. ## What Strengths and Options Are Available?
