Description
What is Synjardy Used For
This medication is a combination of empagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitors) sodium-glucose co-transporter II inhibitors, and metformin, an anti-diabetic biguanide. This medication is prescribed in patients with type 2 diabetes, a condition of high sugar level in the blood caused by the tiny amount of insulin produced by the pancreas, which is no longer effective.
This medication restores the body’s proper response to insulin with the help of the active ingredients; empagliflozin removes the excess sugar through urination to prevent the kidney from reabsorption, while metformin decreases the glucose production in the liver and prevent the intestine from absorbing more sugar and also helps insulin to be more efficient. The use of this medicine should be accompanied by proper diet and exercise to attain the best result.
Synjardy Dosing
This medication is prescribed based on the medical condition, other medicines being taken, age, and if you have been prescribed the active ingredient of this medicine.
Forms of Synjardy:
The immediate-release tablets of Synjardy are dissolved easily and are available as Synjardy 12.5 mg 1000 mg, 5mg-500mg, 5mg-1000mg, and 12.5mg-500mg taken twice a day with food. The maximum allowed dose per day is 12.5mg-1000 per day.
Synjardy XR is an extended-release tablet in 5mg-1000mg, 10mg-1000mg, 25mg-1000mg, and 12.5mg-1000mg taken once a day with a meal. It works by slowly releasing the drugs throughout the day; that is why the tablet should be swallowed whole, not crushed, cut, or chewed to prevent the one-time release of the drug that may worsen side effects. The dose should not exceed 25mg-2000mg per day.
Regular use of this medication will help attain the most benefit; take it at the same time of day every day; if a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, but if it is near the time of the following intake, let it be skipped, for double dosing is discouraged. Your doctor will prescribe exact dosing and the need for adjustments, for a gradual increase must be done to reduce the gastro-intestinal adverse effect.
Synjardy Alternatives
There is no available generic of this medication; in case of unavailability, the patient may use a single dose of the active ingredients. If Synjardy XR 10mg-1000mg is not available, it can be replaced with 2 x 500mg of metformin and 10mg of Jardiance once a day. If Synjardy XR 25mg-1000mg, you can take 2 x 500mg of metformin and 2 x 12.5mg of Jardiance one a day.
