What is Jardiance?

Jardiance (empagliflozin) prevents your kidneys from reabsorbing glucose, or sugar, and causes excess sugar to be excreted from the body in the urine. It's used to manage blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. It has been approved to treat Type 2 diabetes—not Type 1 diabetes. 

Jardiance is also approved to reduce the risk of death from a stroke or heart attack in people with heart failure or heart disease. Jardiance can also be used to lower the risk of kidney complications, heart-related death, and hospitalization in adults with chronic kidney problems.

What doses of Jardiance are available?

Jardiance is available as a tablet that is taken by mouth once daily in the morning, with or without food. Jardiance is available in strengths of 10 mg and 25 mg. Your doctor may adjust your dosage based on your overall medical condition and your response to treatment.

How long does it take Jardiance to work?

Jardiance starts working relatively quickly, within one to two weeks, to start improving blood sugar levels. However, it can take up to 24 weeks for Jardiance to start producing maximum results with blood sugar control. It’s important to take Jardiance every day to ensure maximum benefits.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects, and others may occur. Consult a healthcare professional for more information on other possible side effects, precautions, or warnings before taking Jardiance.

Does Jardiance affect blood pressure?

Before taking Jardiance, tell your doctor if you have a history of low blood pressure.

What drug is comparable to Jardiance?

These drugs include Invokana (canagliflozin) and Farxiga (dapagliflozin), which are comparable in safety and effectiveness to Jardiance.

There are no generic alternatives of brand-name SGLT2 inhibitors available in the United States. Certain diabetes medications are available as generic drugs that may be cheaper than Jardiance. These medications are some of the oldest-known diabetes medications and include sulfonylureas. Metformin is another cornerstone drug used for Type 2 diabetes that is generic and can be obtained for relatively low prices. Consult your healthcare professional for medical advice on the best treatment for you. 

Can I take Jardiance and metformin at the same time?

You may be able to take Jardiance and metformin at the same time, depending on your doctor's recommendations. Many people who initially take metformin for Type 2 diabetes are unable to achieve their target blood sugar levels with metformin alone. Jardiance may be added to metformin to better control blood sugar levels, in combination with diet and exercise. Your doctor will determine the right dosage of each drug for your specific medical condition and response to treatment. One medication called Synjardy combines metformin with the active ingredient in Jardiance, empagliflozin. 

What is the difference between Jardiance vs. Entresto for heart failure?

Jardiance and Entresto are medications approved for use in people with heart failure. However, they contain different active ingredients and work in different ways. 

Jardiance is an SGLT2 inhibitor that decreases the reabsorption of sugar by the kidneys. It also reduces sodium. These actions help lower the heart’s workload. 

Entresto contains a combination of two drugs. Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), works by reducing blood vessel tightening and sodium and fluid buildup. Sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor, works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing sodium and fluid in the body.

Jardiance also has other uses, such as for Type 2 diabetes, while Entresto is only approved for heart failure. Jardiance is typically taken once daily. Entresto, on the other hand, is usually taken twice daily. They also have other differences, such as side effects and warnings. Consult your healthcare provider for more information.
