What is Glyxambi used for?

Glyxambi is used to improve blood sugar (glucose) control in adults with type 2 diabetes who need additional help beyond diet and exercise [1].

It contains two active medicines—empagliflozin and linagliptin—and is prescribed to help manage diabetes by lowering blood glucose levels [1].

Who is it usually prescribed for?

Glyxambi is intended for adults with type 2 diabetes when glucose control is not sufficient with standard treatment and combination therapy is appropriate [1].

How does Glyxambi work (why it helps blood sugar)?

Glyxambi combines:
- Empagliflozin, which helps the kidneys remove glucose through urine.
- Linagliptin, which helps increase insulin release and reduce glucose production by affecting incretin hormones [1].
