Description
- D-Fozin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Pharmacology
- Empagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor.
- The glucuretic effect resulting from SGLT2 inhibition reduces renal absorption and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, resulting in increased glucose excretion.
- Contributes to reduced hyperglycemia, assists weight loss, and reduces blood pressure.

- Severe renal impairment, end-stage renal disease, or dialysis.
Interaction

- Co-administration of D-Fozin with insulin or insulin secretagogues increases the risk for hypoglycemia.
