⚙️ How It Works:
Empagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
•    SGLT2 is responsible for glucose reabsorption in the proximal renal tubules.
•    By inhibiting SGLT2, empagliflozin:
o    Lowers the renal threshold for glucose
o    Promotes urinary glucose excretion
o    Reduces blood glucose levels independently of insulin action

🩺 Indication:
Empagliflozin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus:
•    Monotherapy: When metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance
•    Add-on therapy: With other glucose-lowering agents, including insulin, when glycemic control is inadequate
