What does it do?

Empagliflozin 2L-Proline belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class of diabetes medications. This ingredient serves to help regulate blood sugar by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys. It is primarily used for the purpose of lowering blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Empagliflozin 2L-Proline inhibits the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, allowing glucose to be excreted in the urine. This results in a lower concentration of glucose in the blood, thereby regulating blood sugar levels. It works independently of insulin action in the body to produce blood sugar-lowering effects.
