What is Jardiance (Empagliflozin)?

Jardiance is a prescription medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with Type 2 diabetes, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with Type 2 diabetes and established heart disease. It also reduces the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and slows the progression of chronic kidney disease. Jardiance works by blocking SGLT2 receptors in the kidneys, causing excess glucose to be excreted in the urine rather than reabsorbed into the bloodstream. It's taken once daily in the morning and often produces modest weight loss as a secondary benefit.

SGLT2 inhibition

Blocks sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 in the kidney tubules, preventing glucose reabsorption and causing the kidneys to excrete excess sugar directly into the urine—lowering blood glucose without stimulating insulin release.

Cardiovascular and kidney protection

Beyond glucose control, Jardiance has demonstrated significant reductions in cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, and kidney disease progression—benefits that extend well beyond its blood sugar-lowering effects.

Weight and blood pressure reduction

Glucose excreted in urine represents lost calories, contributing to modest but meaningful weight loss; simultaneous fluid excretion also produces mild blood pressure lowering—two additional metabolic benefits for Type 2 diabetes patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Jardiance lower blood sugar the same way as other diabetes medications?

No. Jardiance works through a completely different mechanism — it causes the kidneys to excrete excess glucose in the urine rather than stimulating insulin or blocking glucose production. This gives it a unique side effect and benefit profile.

What are the heart and kidney benefits of Jardiance?

Clinical trials demonstrated that Jardiance significantly reduces cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, and kidney disease progression in people with Type 2 diabetes — benefits that go well beyond blood sugar control.

Can Jardiance cause low blood sugar on its own?

Jardiance alone does not typically cause hypoglycemia because its mechanism is insulin-independent. Low blood sugar risk increases when it's combined with insulin or sulfonylureas.

What side effects might I experience?

Genital yeast infections and urinary tract infections are the most distinctive side effects, due to the increased glucose in urine. A rare but serious complication called diabetic ketoacidosis has been reported — seek care for nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.

Should I stay well hydrated while taking Jardiance?

Yes. Because Jardiance increases urinary output, adequate hydration is important — particularly in hot weather, during exercise, or if you develop illness causing vomiting or diarrhea. Dehydration can increase the risk of kidney effects.
