Diajard Mxr 5mg/1000mg Tablets (14s)

Product Overview

Diajard Mxr combines empagliflozin and metformin HCl to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes as part of diet and exercise. Available for delivery across Pakistan with prescription and doctor follow-up recommended.

Key Benefits

This section summaries the main advantages.

- Lowers blood glucose by two actions: empagliflozin increases removal of glucose in urine; metformin reduces liver sugar production and improves insulin sensitivity.

- May help reduce blood pressure and body weight modestly (mainly from empagliflozin).

- Useful when metformin alone is insufficient to control blood sugar.

Directions for Use

Follow your doctor’s instructions and review kidney function regularly.

Adults
