What does it do?

Empagliflozin L-proline is an ingredient in the class of SGLT2 inhibitors used for diabetes treatment. This ingredient is used to lower blood sugar by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys.

This ingredient works by inhibiting the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, allowing glucose to be excreted in the urine. This effectively reduces excessive glucose levels in the blood, lowering blood sugar.
