⚙️ How It Works:
•    Empagliflozin (SGLT2 Inhibitor):
Inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 in the kidneys. This lowers the renal threshold for glucose and increases glucose excretion via urine → helps reduce blood glucose levels.
•    Metformin HCl (Biguanide):
o    Decreases liver glucose production
o    Reduces intestinal glucose absorption
o    Enhances insulin sensitivity → increases peripheral glucose uptake and utilization
