Drug Info for jardiance

Empagliflozin is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to lower blood sugar levels in adults and children 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes (condition in which blood sugar is too high because the body does not produce or use insulin normally). Empagliflozin is also used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or death in people who have type 2 diabetes along with heart and blood vessel disease. Empagliflozin is also used in adults with heart failure to reduce the risk of needing to be hospitalized and death due to heart and blood vessel disease. It is also used to reduce the risk of worsening kidney disease, the need to be hospitalized, and the risk of death due to heart disease in adults with kidney disease. Empagliflozin is in a class of medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It lowers blood sugar by causing the kidneys to get rid of more glucose in the urine. Empagliflozin is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may develop if high blood sugar is not treated). Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems. Taking empagliflozin, making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.

Jardiance is an oral tablet medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes; it is not approved for use for type 1 diabetes. There is not a Jardiance generic drug currently available on the market. The average Jardiance price is expensive, at an average of $529 for 30, 25 mg tablets. An easy way to reduce the Jardiance price is to use our free OptionRx discount card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jardiance is not an insulin but rather a type of medication known as an SGLT2 inhibitor. This antidiabetic drug is used to treat type 2 diabetes by increasing the amount of glucose that is released through urination. By doing so, blood sugar levels are better maintained, and diabetes is better managed. This medication should be used along with proper diet and exercise.

While there are alternative drugs available on the market to treat type 2 diabetes, there is not a drug similar to Jardiance currently available. Consult with your doctor for more information on Jardiance and alternative drugs available to determine the best treatment for you.
