What is Synjardy XR?

Synjardy XR is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It is a combination of empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, and metformin hydrochloride, a biguanide, indicated alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Synjardy XR is also used to lower the risk of cardiovascular death from a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes who also have heart disease. Synjardy XR is not recommended in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus as it may increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in these patients.

Metformin-associated lactic acidosis has resulted in death, hypothermia, hypotension low blood pressure), and resistant bradyarrhythmias. Symptoms of lactic acidosis are unusual tiredness, dizziness, severe drowsiness, chills, blue cold skin, muscle pain, trouble breathing, slow irregular heartbeat, or stomach pain with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Laboratory abnormalities include increased blood lactate levels, anion gap acidosis, increased lactate pyruvate ratio, and metformin plasma levels generally >5 mcg/mL.

Risk factors for lactic acidosis include concomitant use of certain drugs, if you are an older adult over 65 years of age, if you have kidney problems or liver problems, dehydration, heart failure, heavy alcohol use, or if you have had surgery.

What doses of Synjardy XR are available?

Synjardy XR is available in extended-release tablet form, in the following doses: 5 mg empagliflozin/1000 mg metformin HCl extended-release, 10 mg empagliflozin/1000 mg metformin HCl extended-release, 12.5 mg empagliflozin/1000 mg metformin HCl extended-release, 25 mg empagliflozin/1000 mg metformin HCl extended-release.

Assess renal function before starting treatment. The maximum recommended total daily dose is 25 mg empagliflozin and 2000 mg metformin HCl. Take once daily with a meal in the morning, with a gradual dose increase to reduce the gastrointestinal side effects due to metformin. Swallow the tablets whole, do not split, crush, dissolve, or chew.

Please read the full prescribing information for the boxed warning and medication guide and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice, or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
