• Empagliflozin (10 mg): An SGLT2 inhibitor that works by preventing the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to its excretion through urine.

• Linagliptin (5 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin production and decreases glucose production in the liver.News-Medical+2Wikipedia+2GoodRx+2News-Medical+41mg+4FDA Access Data+4
