Limitations of Use JARDIANCE is not recommended in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. It may increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. JARDIANCE is not recommended for use to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. JARDIANCE is likely to be ineffective in this setting based upon its mechanism of action. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Prior to Initiation of JARDIANCE Assess renal function before initiating JARDIANCE and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. In patients with volume depletion, correct this condition before initiating JARDIANCE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Use in Specific Populations (8.5, 8.6)]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of JARDIANCE is 10 mg once daily in the morning, taken with or without food. For additional glycemic control, the dose may be increased to 25 mg in patients tolerating JARDIANCE. Use for glycemic control is not recommended in patients with an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Data are insufficient to provide a dosing recommendation in patients; o who have type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease with an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, or o who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with an eGFR less than 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. JARDIANCE is contraindicated in patients on dialysis [see Contraindications (4)]. 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS JARDIANCE tablets available as: 10 mg pale yellow, round, biconvex and bevel-edged, film-coated tablets debossed with “S 10” on one side and the Boehringer Ingelheim company symbol on the other side. 25 mg pale yellow, oval, biconvex, film-coated tablets debossed with “S 25” on one side and the Boehringer Ingelheim company symbol on the other side. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Hypersensitivity to empagliflozin or any of the excipients in JARDIANCE, reactions such as angioedema have occurred [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]. Patients on dialysis [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. 2 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Ketoacidosis Reports of ketoacidosis, a serious life-threatening condition requiring urgent hospitalization have been identified in clinical trials and postmarketing surveillance in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, including JARDIANCE. Fatal cases of ketoacidosis have been reported in patients taking JARDIANCE. In placebo-controlled trials of patients with type 1 diabetes, the risk of ketoacidosis was increased in patients who received SGLT2 inhibitors compared to patients who received placebo. JARDIANCE is not indicated for the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus [see Indications and Usage (1)]. Patients treated with JARDIANCE who present with signs and symptoms consistent with severe metabolic acidosis should be assessed for ketoacidosis regardless of presenting blood glucose levels, as ketoacidosis associated with JARDIANCE may be present even
