Jardiance 10mg Tablets, 28 Tablets
What is Jardiance 10mg tablets and what it is used for?
What Jardiance 10mg is
Jardiance 10mg tablets contain the active substance empagliflozin. Jardiance is a member of a group of medicines called sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.
What Jardiance 10mg is used for
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Jardiance is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adult patients (aged 18 years and older) that cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone.
• Jardiance can be used without other medicines in patients who cannot take metformin (another diabetes medicine).
• Jardiance can also be used with other medicines for the treatment of diabetes. These may be medicines taken by mouth or given by injection such as insulin.
How does Jardiance work?
Jardiance works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys. This causes blood sugar (glucose) to be removed in your urine. Thereby Jardiance lowers the amount of sugar in your blood. This medicine can also help prevent heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
It is important that you continue with your diet and exercise plan as told by your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
Heart failure
• Jardiance is used to treat heart failure in adult patients with symptoms due to a weak pump function of the heart
What is heart failure?
This type of heart failure occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. This can lead to serious medical problems and need for hospital care.
The most common symptoms of heart failure are feeling breathless, feeling tired or very tired all the time, and ankle swelling.
Jardiance helps protect your heart from getting weaker and improves your symptoms.
What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.
- Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
- It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
- It’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
- It’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don’t necessarily make you feel unwell.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:
- peeing more than usual, particularly at night
- feeling thirsty all the time
- feeling very tired
- losing weight without trying to
- itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
- cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
- blurred vision
You’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:
- are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
- have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
- are overweight or obese
- are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK
Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication
Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.
The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.
Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.
Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.
How to manage your diabetes
A healthy diet and keeping active will help you manage your blood sugar level. It will also help you to control your weight and generally feel better.
YOU CAN EAT MANY TYPES OF FOODS
There’s nothing you can’t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you’ll have to limit certain foods.
You should:
- eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
- keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
- eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don’t skip meals
If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.

Product Details
What you need to know before you take Jardiance 10mg tablets
Do not take Jardiance
• if you are allergic to empagliflozin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Contact a doctor or the nearest hospital straight away:
Ketoacidosis
• if you experience rapid weight loss, feeling sick or being sick, stomach pain, excessive thirst, fast and deep breathing, confusion, unusual sleepiness or tiredness, a sweet smell to your breath, a sweet or metallic taste in your
mouth, or a different odour to your urine or sweat, contact a doctor or the nearest hospital straight away. These symptoms could be a sign of “ketoacidosis” – a rare, but serious, sometimes life-threatening problem you can get with diabetes because of increased levels of “ketone bodies” in your urine or blood, seen in tests. The risk of developing ketoacidosis may be increased with prolonged fasting, excessive
alcohol consumption, dehydration, sudden reductions in insulin dose, or a higher need of insulin due to major surgery or serious illness.
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before
taking this medicine, and during treatment:
• if you have “type 1 diabetes”. This type usually starts when you are young and your body does not produce any insulin. You should not take Jardiance to treat your type 1 diabetes.
• if you have serious kidney or liver problems
– your doctor may ask you to take a different medicine.
• might be at risk of dehydration, for example: o if you are being sick, have diarrhoea or fever, or if you are not able to eat or drink
o if you are taking medicines that increase urine production [diuretics] or lower blood pressure
o if you are over 75 years old.
Possible signs are listed in section 4 under ‘dehydration’. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking Jardiance until you recover to prevent loss of too much body fluid. Ask about ways to prevent dehydration.
• if you are 85 years old or older as you should not start taking Jardiance due to limited therapeutic experience.
• if you have a serious infection of the kidney or the urinary tract with fever. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking Jardiance until you have recovered.
Talk to your doctor immediately if you develop a combination of symptoms of pain, tenderness, redness, or swelling of the genitals or the area between the genitals and the anus with fever or feeling generally unwell. These symptoms could be
a sign of a rare but serious or even life-threatening infection, called necrotising fasciitis of the perineum or Fournier’s gangrene which destroys the tissue under the skin. Fournier’s gangrene has to be treated immediately.
Foot care
Like for all diabetic patients it is important to check your feet regularly and adhere to any other advice regarding foot care given by your health care professional.
Kidney function
Your kidneys should be checked before you start taking and whilst you are on this medicine.
Urine glucose
Because of how this medicine works, your urine will test positive for sugar while you are taking this medicine.
Children and adolescents
Jardiance is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years, because it has not been studied in these patients.
Other medicines and Jardiance
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. It is important to tell your doctor:
• if you are taking medicines that increase urine production (diuretics). Your doctor may ask you to stop taking Jardiance. Possible signs of losing too much fluid from your body are listed in section 4.
• if you are taking other medicines that lower the amount of sugar in your blood such as insulin or a “sulphonylurea” medicine. Your doctor may want to lower the dose of these other medicines, to prevent your blood sugar levels from getting too low (hypoglycaemia).
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. Do not use Jardiance if you are pregnant. It is unknown if Jardiance is harmful
to the unborn child. Do not use Jardiance if you are breast-feeding. It is not known if Jardiance passes into human breast milk.
Driving and using machines
Jardiance has minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
Taking this medicine in combination with medicines called sulphonylureas or with insulin can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low (hypoglycaemia), which may cause symptoms such as shaking, sweating and change in vision, and
may affect your ability to drive and use machines.
Do not drive or use any tools or machines, if you feel dizzy while taking Jardiance.
Jardiance contains lactose
Jardiance contains lactose (milk sugar). If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium
(23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially
‘sodium free’

Like all medicines, Jardiance can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Contact a doctor or the nearest hospital straight away if you have any of the following
side effects:
Severe allergic reaction, seen uncommonly (may affect up to 1 in 100 people)

Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you notice the following side effects:
Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), seen very commonly (may affect more than 1 in 10 people)

The signs of urinary tract infection are:
• burning sensation when passing urine
