Introduction

Glyxambi 25mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. It is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The medicine aids in the proper utilization of insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. While it offers significant benefits, it is essential to be aware of potential side effects and take necessary precautions.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Glyxambi 25mg/5mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Glyxambi 25mg/5mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Empagliflozin and Linagliptin. Empagliflozin works by removing excess glucose from your body through urine. Linagliptin works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines, and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

You have been prescribed this combination medicine as it can control blood sugar better than either one alone. It may also reduce the risk of heart attack, heart failure, or other cardiovascular events. Continue to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medicines (if prescribed) along with Glyxambi 25mg/5mg Tablet. Take it with food to lower your chance of having an upset stomach. Practice good genital hygiene to prevent yeast or urinary tract infections. It may cause your body to lose too much fluid (dehydration) or you to urinate more often. Drink plenty of water, stay hydrated, and rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal. Check your blood sugar regularly. Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms such as cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremor, and anxious feeling. Stop taking Glyxambi 25mg/5mg Tablet and inform your doctor if you notice joint pains or develop symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, and/or vomiting.
