Description:

Jardiance (empagliflozin) is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping control blood sugar levels. It works by inhibiting the SGLT2 protein, which is responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the blood from the kidneys. By blocking this protein, Jardiance helps the kidneys to remove excess sugar from the bloodstream through urine. It can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications.
