Q1: Why is it called “XR”?
A1: XR means extended-release – metformin releases slowly over 24 hours for smoother control and fewer stomach side effects.

Q2: Will I lose weight on this tablet?
A2: Yes, most patients lose 2–5 kg thanks to empagliflozin’s calorie-loss effect.

Q3: How much does it lower A1C?
A3: Typically 1.6–2.2% reduction when added to existing therapy.

Q4: Do I still get full heart and kidney protection at 10mg empagliflozin?
A4: Yes – the 10mg dose is proven to deliver the same strong cardio-renal benefits as higher dose.

Q5: Is it easier on the stomach than regular metformin 1000mg?
A5: Much easier – extended-release form significantly reduces nausea and diarrhoea.
