Glyxambi is a medication that combines empagliflozin and linagliptin, both of which are oral drugs designed to manage blood sugar levels. Empagliflozin operates by aiding the kidneys in removing excess glucose from the bloodstream, while linagliptin works to regulate insulin production in response to meals.

Glyxambi is prescribed alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise to enhance blood sugar management in adults dealing with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Additionally, it is employed to reduce the risk of mortality due to heart attack, stroke, or heart failure in adults who have both type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

It's important to note that Glyxambi is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
