Not known: Necrotising fasciitis of the perineum (Fournier?s gangrene) and bullous pemphigoid.
Drug Interactions
Diuretics : Coadministration of Empagliflozin with diuretics resulted in increased urine volume and frequency of voids, which might enhance the potential for volume depletion. Before initiating Empagliflozin + Linagliptin , assess volume status and renal function. In patients with volume depletion, correct this condition before initiating therapy. Monitor for signs and symptoms of volume depletion and renal function after initiating therapy. Interference with 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) Assay Measurements of 1,5-AG are unreliable in assessing glycemic control in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Monitoring glycemic control with 1,5-AG assay is not recommended. Use alternative methods to monitor glycemic control. Inducers of P-glycoprotein or CYP3A4 Enzymes Rifampin decreased Linagliptin exposure, suggesting that the efficacy of Linagliptin may be reduced when administered in combination with a strong P-gp or CYP3A4 inducer. Use of alternative treatments is strongly recommended when Linagliptin is to be administered with a strong P-gp or CYP3A4 inducer.
Indication
Empagliflozin + Linagliptin are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise in adults aged 18 years and older with type 2 diabetes mellitu s: to improve glycemic control when metformin and/or sulphonylurea (SU) and monotherapy of either of Empagliflozin and Linagliptin do not provide adequate glycemic control. – when already being treated with the free combination of Empagliflozin and Linagliptin. Empagliflozin is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease.
When not to Use
The combination of Empagliflozin + Linagliptin is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substances, to any other Sodium-Glucose-Co-Transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, to any other Dipeptidyl-Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, or to any of the excipients of the product.
