Jardiance is a prescription medication used to lower blood sugar and reduce the risk of serious heart-related outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart failure.

Jardiance contains empagliflozin, which works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose from the bloodstream through urine. This process lowers blood sugar levels and helps improve overall glycemic control. Jardiance is meant to be used alongside diet and exercise, not as a replacement for lifestyle changes.

Jardiance is indicated to:

• Reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in adults with heart failure
• Reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease
• Improve blood sugar control when used with diet and exercise in adults with type 2 diabetes

Jardiance is not recommended for people with type 1 diabetes, as it may increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.

For more information about Jardiance and how it works, see this Jardiance guide.

Is there a generic for Jardiance?

Yes. A generic version of Jardiance, called empagliflozin, is available. Generic empagliflozin is not currently available in the United States but can be ordered through Canada Drug Warehouse.
