Synjardy XR (active ingredients: empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Synjardy XR is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
  2. Cardiovascular Benefits: It is also indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease.

Synjardy XR belongs to two classes of drugs: sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and biguanides. SGLT2 inhibitors work by helping the kidneys remove glucose from the bloodstream through urine, while biguanides (metformin) work by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity.

Synjardy XR is available as capsules that should be taken orally as directed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily with the morning meal. To ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, swallow the capsules whole and do not crush, dissolve, or chew them. Doing so could release all the drugs at once, increasing the risk of potential side effects. Taking Synjardy XR regularly at the same time each day can help you remember to take it. Drink plenty of fluids while taking the capsules, unless told otherwise by your doctor.

The appropriate dosage of Synjardy XR will depend on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. To reduce the risk of side effects, such as diarrhea and nausea, your doctor may direct you to start with a low dose and gradually increase it. Make sure to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

The recommended starting dosage is the same as the total daily dosages of each component. For empagliflozin, the recommended daily dose is usually 5 or 10 mg per day, and for metformin HCl, the recommended starting dose is usually 500 mg once or twice per day, with the maximum daily dose typically not exceeding 2,000 mg/day.

If your condition does not improve or worsens, such as high or low blood sugar, contact your doctor right away.
