Empacoza Trio XR is a powerful, once-daily triple combination medication designed to provide comprehensive blood sugar control for adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The Extended-Release (XR) formula ensures a steady release of medication throughout the day.
- Active Ingredients: Empagliflozin (25mg) + Linagliptin (5mg) + Metformin XR (1000mg).
- Class: SGLT2 Inhibitor, DPP-4 Inhibitor, and Biguanide.
- Primary Benefit: Simplifies treatment by combining three medications into one tablet to lower HbA1c levels.
- Pack Size: 30 Extended-Release Tablets.
Each component of Empacoza Trio XR targets a different pathway to control glucose:
- Empagliflozin: Helps the kidneys remove excess sugar from your body through urine.
- Linagliptin: Increases hormones that stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin and less glucagon.
- Metformin XR: Decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in the muscles.
Because this is an Extended-Release (XR) medication, specific administration is required:
- Administration: Take one tablet daily, preferably in the morning with a meal to reduce stomach upset.
- Important: Swallow the tablet whole. Do NOT crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this destroys the extended-release mechanism and increases the risk of side effects.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day while taking this medication.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
- Urinary Health: Due to Empagliflozin, there is an increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) or yeast infections. Maintain good hygiene.
- Dehydration: This medication may cause increased urination. Watch for signs of dehydration (extreme thirst, dizziness, or dark urine).
- Lactic Acidosis: A rare side effect associated with Metformin. Seek medical help if you experience unusual muscle pain or difficulty breathing.
- Kidney Function: Requires regular monitoring by your healthcare provider.
- Increased urination and thirst.
- Mild nausea or diarrhea (common during the first few weeks).
- Upper respiratory tract infections or stuffy nose.
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if used with other diabetes medications like insulin.
- Store at room temperature (below 30°C / 86°F).
- Keep the bottle tightly closed to protect from moisture.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
