Diampa

Introduction
Diampa 25mg is prescribed in Pakistan for adults with type 2 diabetes who need stronger control of their blood sugar. It works by helping the kidneys pass extra glucose into the urine, which lowers sugar levels in the blood. Beyond improving sugar control, it is also valued for the protection it can offer to the heart and kidneys in certain patients.

Composition
Each tablet contains Empagliflozin 25mg, a member of the SGLT2 inhibitor group of medicines.

Uses
Doctors often choose Diampa for patients whose blood sugar is not managed well with diet, exercise, or metformin alone. It can also be used in combination with other medicines when tighter control is needed. For many patients, its benefit goes beyond sugar reduction, as it may help reduce the risk of heart and kidney complications linked with long-term diabetes.

How to Take
The tablet is usually taken once daily, preferably in the morning, with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food. The exact dose and duration depend on the patient’s condition and should always be guided by a physician. Skipping doses can reduce its effectiveness, so regular use is important.

Precautions
Because it changes how the body handles sugar, Diampa should be taken only on medical advice. It is not for patients with type 1 diabetes or those with diabetic ketoacidosis. People with kidney disease, low blood pressure, or a history of frequent urinary tract infections should inform their doctor before starting this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women must also consult their physician. While using this medicine, patients are advised to stay well hydrated. Store tablets in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.

Possible Side Effects
Most people tolerate Diampa well, but some may notice increased urination or develop urinary and genital infections, since more sugar is passed in the urine. Other effects such as dizziness or low blood pressure may occur in a few patients. Rarely, a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis can develop, even if blood sugar is not very high. Any unusual symptoms should be reported to a doctor without delay.

Doctor’s Review
Dr. Farah Javed

“Empagliflozin (Diampa) is a treatment option for type 2 diabetes that not only helps lower blood glucose but also offers additional benefits for patients with heart or kidney concerns. By promoting glucose excretion through the urine, it supports better sugar control and can reduce cardiovascular and renal risks. As with other medicines in this class, proper hydration and awareness of potential side effects, such as infections or unexplained fatigue, are important considerations for safe use.”
