Glyxambi Dosage/Direction for Use

Recommended Dosage: The recommended dose of GLYXAMBI is 10 mg empagliflozin/5 mg linagliptin once daily in the morning, taken with or without food. In patients tolerating GLYXAMBI, the dose may be increased to 25 mg empagliflozin/5 mg linagliptin once daily.
In patients with volume depletion, correcting this condition prior to initiation of GLYXAMBI is recommended.
No studies have been performed specifically examining the safety and efficacy of GLYXAMBI in patients previously treated with other oral antihyperglycemic agents and switched to GLYXAMBI. Any change in therapy of type 2 diabetes should be undertaken with care and appropriate monitoring as changes in glycemic control can occur.
Patients with Renal Impairment: Assessment of renal function is recommended prior to initiation of GLYXAMBI and periodically thereafter.
GLYXAMBI should not be initiated in patients with an eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m².
No dose adjustment is needed in patients with an eGFR greater than or equal to 45 mL/min/1.73 m².
GLYXAMBI should be discontinued if eGFR is persistently less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m².
Patients with hepatic impairment: No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
Empagliflozin exposure is increased in patients with severe hepatic impairment and therapeutic experience in such patients is limited. Therefore, GLYXAMBI is not recommended for use in this population.
Elderly Patients: No dosage adjustment is recommended based on age. Glyxambi should be prescribed with caution in patients aged 75 years and older (see Precautions).
Paediatric population: The safety and effectiveness of GLYXAMBI in children below 18 years of age have not been established. GLYXAMBI is not recommended for use in patients under 18 years of age.
Combination therapy: When GLYXAMBI is used in combination with a sulphonylurea or with insulin, a lower dose of the sulphonylurea or insulin may be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia (see Interactions and Adverse Reactions).
Missed dose: If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers. A double dose should not be taken on the same day.
