INTRODUCTION ABOUT GIBTULIO 25MG TABLET
GIBTULIO 25MG TABLET contains Empagliflozin which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-diabetic drugs. It is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults, that cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. It can also help in reducing the risk of heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Also, it is used in the management of heart failure in adult patients with weak pumping function.
Diabetes can be defined as inability of your body to produce and use enough insulin (a hormone made by pancreas), resulting in abnormal blood glucose levels. It can show symptoms like increased thirst, urination and hunger, blurry vision, numbness in hands or feet or tiredness. Heart failure occurs when the heart is weak and unable to pump enough blood to the lungs and the rest of the body, creating symptoms like breathlessness, tiredness and ankle swelling.
Appropriate diet and exercise can help your body use its blood sugar better. Follow any advice given by your doctor regarding foot care. Prior to the management, your doctor may want you to take several blood tests to understand your existing condition.
