What Is Synjardy?
Synjardy (empagliflozin-metformin) is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by combining an SGLT2 inhibitor that causes the kidneys to excrete excess glucose in the urine with a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients achieve meaningful reductions in blood sugar and HbA1c while benefiting from a single convenient tablet.

Is Online Synjardy Treatment Right for You?
Synjardy is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled by empagliflozin or metformin alone. It is not indicated for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Because Synjardy affects kidney function and carries a risk of lactic acidosis, your prescribing physician will review your kidney function (eGFR), any history of renal or hepatic impairment, and any medications that may interact before approving your treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Synjardy contains empagliflozin and metformin. Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that tells your kidneys to remove excess glucose through urine. Metformin is a biguanide that reduces the amount of glucose your liver releases and helps your body use insulin more effectively. Together they lower fasting and post-meal blood glucose and reduce HbA1c.
Synjardy is taken twice daily with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Your physician will prescribe the strength (5 mg/500 mg, 5 mg/1000 mg, 12.5 mg/500 mg, or 12.5 mg/1000 mg) appropriate for your current glucose levels and kidney function. Always follow your prescriber's specific instructions.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and urinary tract or genital yeast infections. A rare but serious risk is lactic acidosis, a buildup of lactic acid in the blood that is more likely in people with kidney or liver problems. Contact your doctor promptly if you experience unusual muscle pain, difficulty breathing, or stomach discomfort.
Synjardy is not appropriate for people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe kidney disease (eGFR below 30 mL/min), or serious liver impairment. It should be temporarily stopped before contrast dye procedures or major surgeries. Tell your doctor about all medications you take, as some drugs can interact with metformin or empagliflozin.
Yes. Regular blood glucose checks and periodic HbA1c testing are important to confirm that Synjardy is working and that your dose remains appropriate. Your physician may also order kidney function tests (serum creatinine or eGFR) at least once a year because empagliflozin depends on adequate renal function to work.
Synjardy is often used alongside other antidiabetic agents such as insulin or GLP-1 receptor agonists when additional glucose lowering is needed. Combining it with insulin or sulfonylureas increases the risk of low blood sugar, so your doctor may adjust those doses. Never add or stop medications without first consulting your prescriber.
