What does Jardiance (empagliflozin) use in the body—what is its active ingredient?

Jardiance uses empagliflozin as its active ingredient. It is a prescription medicine in the SGLT2 inhibitor class, designed to help lower blood sugar by changing how the kidneys handle glucose. [1]

What kind of diabetes treatment is Jardiance used for?

Jardiance is used to treat type 2 diabetes and is also used to reduce risk of certain heart and kidney outcomes in appropriate patients, depending on the specific indication. [1]

How does Jardiance work (what does it “use” to lower glucose)?

Jardiance works by blocking SGLT2 in the kidneys, which causes more glucose to be released in urine instead of being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This lowers blood glucose levels. [1]

Is there more than one “Jardiance” product?

Yes. Jardiance can come in different strengths (for example, tablet strengths vary by formulation), but the active ingredient remains empagliflozin. [1]
