Synjardy
What is Synjardy
Empagliflozin/metformin, with the brand name Synjardy among others, is a fix-dose combination anti-diabetic medication use to treat type 2 diabetes. It contains empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride. Drink by mouth.
Uses
This medication is a combination of 2 drugs: empagliflozin and metformin. It is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This medication works by helping to restore your body’s proper response to the insulin you naturally produce. It also increases the removal of sugar by your kidneys, decreases how much sugar is made in your liver, and decreases how much sugar your body takes in through your stomach and intestines.
How to use Synjardy
Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily with meals. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
To reduce your risk of side effects (such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting), your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it gets worse (your blood sugar is too high or too low).
Side Effects
Headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, runny nose, or sore throat may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. If stomach symptoms return later (after taking the same dose for several days or weeks), tell your doctor right away. Stomach symptoms that occur after the first days of your treatment may be signs of lactic acidosis.
Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: signs of a urinary tract infection (such as burning/painful/frequent/urgent urination, pink/bloody urine), signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine).
This medication may cause a new yeast infection in the vagina or the penis. It may also cause a rare but very serious bacterial infection in the genital/anal area (Fournier’s gangrene). Tell your doctor right away if you have signs of a yeast infection in the vagina (such as unusual vaginal discharge/burning/itching/odor) or in the penis (such as redness/itching/swelling of the penis, unusual discharge from the penis).
However, get medical help right away if you have any pain/redness/swelling in or around the genital/anal area, along with a fever or feeling unwell.

Really great service from Insulin Dosages. Prescriptions are always checked by a pharmacist so I know I’ll get the correct medication. Dispatch is very prompt and I’m kept fully informed as to delivery. Would definitely recommend.

I had struggled to source the brand of medication needed from local pharmacies due to a shortage. Though I was frustrated that I was having to pay for medication that’s prescribed to me on the NHS, I was relieved that Insulin Dosages had it in stock. The process was straightforward and arrived quickly. I would recommend them and will use them again if I find myself in the same situation.

Their website was easy to navigate, clearly written with an explanation of why my prescription might not be able to be dispensed. I had regular emails keeping me up to date of the progress of my order. Once notified that my order had been dispensed and dispatched it arrived 24 hours later, securely packaged. I would happily use your services again, thank you.
