The most common adverse reactions associated with JARDIANCE (5% or greater incidence) were urinary tract infections and femalegenital mycotic infections (6.1). 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conductedunder widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed inthe clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to ratesin the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the ratesobserved in practice.Pool of Placebo-Controlled Trials evaluating JARDIANCE10 and 25 mg Thedata in Table are derived from pool of four 24-week placebo-controlledtrials and 18-week data from placebo-controlled trial with insulin. JARDIANCE was used as monotherapy in one trial and as add-on therapyin four trials [see Clinical Studies (14)].These data reflect exposure of 1976 patients to JARDIANCE with amean exposure duration of approximately 23 weeks. Patients receivedplacebo (N=995), JARDIANCE 10 mg (N=999), or JARDIANCE 25 mg (N=977)once daily. The mean age of the population was 56 years and 3% wereolder than 75 years of age. More than half (55%) of the populationwas male; 46% were White, 50% were Asian, and 3% were Black or AfricanAmerican. At baseline, 57% of the population had diabetes more than5 years and had mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 8%. Establishedmicrovascular complications of diabetes at baseline included diabeticnephropathy (7%), retinopathy (8%), or neuropathy (16%). Baselinerenal function was normal or mildly impaired in 91% of patients andmoderately impaired in 9% of patients (mean eGFR 86.8 mL/min/1.73m2).Table shows common adverse reactions (excludinghypoglycemia) associated with the use of JARDIANCE. The adverse reactionswere not present at baseline, occurred more commonly on JARDIANCEthan on placebo and occurred in greater than or equal to 2% of patientstreated with JARDIANCE 10 mg or JARDIANCE 25 mg.Table Adverse Reactions Reported in >=2% of Patients Treatedwith JARDIANCE and Greater than Placebo in Pooled Placebo-ControlledClinical Studies of JARDIANCE Monotherapy or Combination TherapyaPredefined adverse eventgrouping, including, but not limited to, urinary tract infection,asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitisbFemale genital mycoticinfections include the following adverse reactions: vulvovaginal mycoticinfection, vaginal infection, vulvitis, vulvovaginal candidiasis,genital infection, genital candidiasis, genital infection fungal,genitourinary tract infection, vulvovaginitis, cervicitis, urogenitalinfection fungal, vaginitis bacterial.

In the pool of five placebo-controlled clinical trials, adverse reactionsrelated to volume depletion (e.g., blood pressure (ambulatory) decreased,blood pressure systolic decreased, dehydration, hypotension, hypovolemia,orthostatic hypotension, and syncope) were reported by 0.3%, 0.5%,and 0.3% of patients treated with placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE25 mg, respectively. JARDIANCE may increase the risk of hypotensionin patients at risk for volume contraction [see Warnings andPrecautions (5.1) and Use in SpecificPopulations (8.5, 8.6)]. Increased Urination In the pool of five placebo-controlled clinical trials, adversereactions of increased urination (e.g., polyuria, pollakiuria, andnocturia) occurred more frequently on JARDIANCE than on placebo (seeTable 1). Specifically, nocturia was reported by 0.4%, 0.3%, and0.8% of patients treated with placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE25 mg, respectively.Acute Impairment in Renal Function Treatment with JARDIANCE was associated with increases in serumcreatinine and decreases in eGFR (see Table 2). Patients with moderaterenal impairment at baseline had larger mean changes [seeWarnings and Precautions (5.3) andUse in Specific Populations (8.5, 8.6)].In long-term cardiovascular outcome trial,the acute impairment in renal function was observed to reverse aftertreatment discontinuation suggesting acute hemodynamic changes playa role in the renal function changes observed with empagliflozin.

Discontinuationfrom study due to genital infection occurred in 0% of placebo-treatedpatients and 0.2% of patients treated with either JARDIANCE 10 or25 mg.Genital mycoticinfections occurred more frequently in female than male patients (seeTable 1).Phimosisoccurred more frequently in male patients treated with JARDIANCE 10mg (less than 0.1%) and JARDIANCE 25 mg (0.1%) than placebo (0%).Urinary Tract Infections In the pool of five placebo-controlledclinical trials, the incidence of urinary tract infections (e.g.,urinary tract infection, asymptomatic bacteriuria, and cystitis) wasincreased in patients treated with JARDIANCE compared to placebo (seeTable 1). Patients with history of chronic or recurrent urinarytract infections were more likely to experience urinary tract infection. The rate of treatment discontinuation due to urinary tract infectionswas 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.1% for placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE25 mg, respectively.Urinary tract infections occurred more frequently in female patients. The incidence of urinary tract infections in female patients randomizedto placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE 25 mg was 16.6%, 18.4%,and 17.0%, respectively. The incidence of urinary tract infectionsin male patients randomized to placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE25 mg was 3.2%, 3.6%, and 4.1%, respectively [see Warningsand Precautions (5.4) and Use in SpecificPopulations (8.5)].Laboratory TestsIncrease in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol(LDL-C) Dose-relatedincreases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were observedin patients treated with JARDIANCE. LDL-C increased by 2.3%, 4.6%,and 6.5% in patients treated with placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE25 mg, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]. The range of mean baselineLDL-C levels was 90.3 to 90.6 mg/dL across treatment groups.Increase in Hematocrit In pool of four placebo-controlledstudies, median hematocrit decreased by 1.3% in placebo and increasedby 2.8% in JARDIANCE 10 mg and 2.8% in JARDIANCE 25 mg treated patients.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenesis Carcinogenesis was evaluatedin 2-year studies conducted in CD-1 mice and Wistar rats. Empagliflozindid not increase the incidence of tumors in female rats dosed at 100,300, or 700 mg/kg/day (up to 72 times the exposure from the maximumclinical dose of 25 mg). In male rats, hemangiomas of the mesentericlymph node were increased significantly at 700 mg/kg/day or approximately42 times the exposure from 25 mg clinical dose. Empagliflozin didnot increase the incidence of tumors in female mice dosed at 100,300, or 1000 mg/kg/day (up to 62 times the exposure from 25 mg clinicaldose). Renal tubule adenomas and carcinomas were observed in malemice at 1000 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 45 times the exposureof the maximum clinical dose of 25 mg. These tumors may be associatedwith metabolic pathway predominantly present in the male mouse kidney.Mutagenesis Empagliflozin was not mutagenicor clastogenic with or without metabolic activation in the in vitro Ames bacterial mutagenicity assay, the in vitro L5178Y tk+/- mouse lymphomacell assay, and an in vivo micronucleus assay inrats.Impairmentof Fertility Empagliflozinhad no effects on mating, fertility or early embryonic developmentin treated male or female rats up to the high dose of 700 mg/kg/day(approximately 155 times the 25 mg clinical dose in males and females,respectively).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT2)is the predominant transporter responsible for reabsorption of glucosefrom the glomerular filtrate back into the circulation. Empagliflozinis an inhibitor of SGLT2. By inhibiting SGLT2, empagliflozin reducesrenal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal thresholdfor glucose, and thereby increases urinary glucose excretion.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Urinary Glucose Excretion In patients with type diabetes,urinary glucose excretion increased immediately following dose ofJARDIANCE and was maintained at the end of 4-week treatment periodaveraging at approximately 64 grams per day with 10 mg empagliflozinand 78 grams per day with 25 mg JARDIANCE once daily [seeClinical Studies (14)]. Urinary Volume In 5-day study, mean 24-hoururine volume increase from baseline was 341 mL on Day and 135 mLon Day of empagliflozin 25 mg once daily treatment.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyIn randomized, placebo-controlled, active-comparator,crossover study, 30 healthy subjects were administered single oraldose of JARDIANCE 25 mg, JARDIANCE 200 mg (8 times the maximum dose),moxifloxacin, and placebo. No increase in QTc was observed with either25 mg or 200 mg empagliflozin.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. AbsorptionThepharmacokinetics of empagliflozin has been characterized in healthyvolunteers and patients with type diabetes and no clinically relevantdifferences were noted between the two populations. After oral administration,peak plasma concentrations of empagliflozin were reached at 1.5 hourspost-dose. Thereafter, plasma concentrations declined in biphasicmanner with rapid distribution phase and relatively slow terminalphase. The steady state mean plasma AUC and Cmax were 1870 nmol.h/L and 259 nmol/L, respectively, with 10 mg empagliflozinonce daily treatment, and 4740 nmol.h/L and 687 nmol/L, respectively,with 25 mg empagliflozin once daily treatment. Systemic exposureof empagliflozin increased in dose-proportional manner in the therapeuticdose range. The single-dose and steady-state pharmacokinetic parametersof empagliflozin were similar, suggesting linear pharmacokineticswith respect to time.Administration of 25 mg empagliflozin after intake of high-fatand high-calorie meal resulted in slightly lower exposure; AUC decreasedby approximately 16% and Cmax decreased byapproximately 37%, compared to fasted condition. The observed effectof food on empagliflozin pharmacokinetics was not considered clinicallyrelevant and empagliflozin may be administered with or without food.DistributionThe apparent steady-state volume of distribution wasestimated to be 73.8 based on population pharmacokinetic analysis. Following administration of an oral [14C]-empagliflozin solution to healthy subjects, the red blood cellpartitioning was approximately 36.8% and plasma protein binding was86.2%. MetabolismNo major metabolites of empagliflozin were detected inhuman plasma and the most abundant metabolites were three glucuronideconjugates (2-O-, 3-O-, and 6-O-glucuronide). Systemic exposure ofeach metabolite was less than 10% of total drug-related material. In vitro studies suggested that the primary route of metabolismof empagliflozin in humans is glucuronidation by the uridine 5-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferasesUGT2B7, UGT1A3, UGT1A8, and UGT1A9.EliminationTheapparent terminal elimination half-life of empagliflozin was estimatedto be 12.4 and apparent oral clearance was 10.6 L/h based on thepopulation pharmacokinetic analysis. Following once-daily dosing,up to 22% accumulation, with respect to plasma AUC, was observed atsteady-state, which was consistent with empagliflozin half-life. Following administration of an oral [14C]-empagliflozin solution to healthy subjects, approximately 95.6%of the drug-related radioactivity was eliminated in feces (41.2%)or urine (54.4%). The majority of drug-related radioactivity recoveredin feces was unchanged parent drug and approximately half of drug-relatedradioactivity excreted in urine was unchanged parent drug.Specific PopulationsRenal ImpairmentInpatients with mild (eGFR: 60 to less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2), moderate (eGFR: 30 to less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2), and severe (eGFR: less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2) renal impairment and subjects withkidney failure/end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, AUC of empagliflozinincreased by approximately 18%, 20%, 66%, and 48%, respectively, comparedto subjects with normal renal function. Peak plasma levels of empagliflozinwere similar in subjects with moderate renal impairment and kidneyfailure/ESRD compared to patients with normal renal function. Peakplasma levels of empagliflozin were roughly 20% higher in subjectswith mild and severe renal impairment as compared to subjects withnormal renal function. Population pharmacokinetic analysis showedthat the apparent oral clearance of empagliflozin decreased, witha decrease in eGFR leading to an increase in drug exposure. However,the fraction of empagliflozin that was excreted unchanged in urine,and urinary glucose excretion, declined with decrease in eGFR.Hepatic ImpairmentIn subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairmentaccording to the Child-Pugh classification, AUC of empagliflozin increasedby approximately 23%, 47%, and 75%, and Cmax increased by approximately 4%, 23%, and 48%, respectively, comparedto subjects with normal hepatic function.Effects of Age, Body Mass Index,Gender, and RaceBased on the population PKanalysis, age, body mass index (BMI), gender and race (Asians versusprimarily Whites) do not have clinically meaningful effect on pharmacokineticsof empagliflozin [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].PediatricStudies characterizing the pharmacokinetics of empagliflozin inpediatric patients have not been performed.Drug Interactions In vitro Assessment of Drug InteractionsEmpagliflozin does not inhibit, inactivate, or induce CYP450 isoforms. In vitro data suggest that the primary route of metabolismof empagliflozin in humans is glucuronidation by the uridine 5-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferasesUGT1A3, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7. Empagliflozin does not inhibitUGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, or UGT2B7. Therefore, no effect ofempagliflozin is anticipated on concomitantly administered drugs thatare substrates of the major CYP450 isoforms or UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A8,UGT1A9, or UGT2B7. The effect of UGT induction (e.g., induction byrifampicin or any other UGT enzyme inducer) on empagliflozin exposurehas not been evaluated.Empagliflozin is substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breastcancer resistance protein (BCRP), but it does not inhibit these effluxtransporters at therapeutic doses. Based on in vitro studies, empagliflozin is considered unlikely to cause interactionswith drugs that are P-gp substrates. Empagliflozin is substrateof the human uptake transporters OAT3, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3, but notOAT1 and OCT2. Empagliflozin does not inhibit any of these human uptaketransporters at clinically relevant plasma concentrations and, therefore,no effect of empagliflozin is anticipated on concomitantly administereddrugs that are substrates of these uptake transporters.In vivo Assessment of Drug InteractionsNo dose adjustmentof JARDIANCE is recommended when coadministered with commonly prescribedmedicinal products based on results of the described pharmacokineticstudies. Empagliflozin pharmacokinetics were similar with and withoutcoadministration of metformin, glimepiride, pioglitazone, sitagliptin,linagliptin, warfarin, verapamil, ramipril, and simvastatin in healthyvolunteers and with or without coadministration of hydrochlorothiazideand torsemide in patients with type diabetes (see Figure 1). Theobserved increases in overall exposure (AUC) of empagliflozin followingcoadministration with gemfibrozil, rifampicin, or probenecid are notclinically relevant. In subjects with normal renal function, coadministrationof empagliflozin with probenecid resulted in 30% decrease in thefraction of empagliflozin excreted in urine without any effect on24-hour urinary glucose excretion. The relevance of this observationto patients with renal impairment is unknown.Figure Effect of Various Medicationson the Pharmacokinetics of Empagliflozin as Displayed as 90% ConfidenceInterval of Geometric Mean AUC and Cmax Ratios[reference lines indicate 100% (80% 125%)]aempagliflozin,50 mg, once daily; bempagliflozin, 25 mg,single dose; cempagliflozin, 25 mg, oncedaily; dempagliflozin, 10 mg, single doseEmpagliflozin had no clinicallyrelevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of metformin, glimepiride,pioglitazone, sitagliptin, linagliptin, warfarin, digoxin, ramipril,simvastatin, hydrochlorothiazide, torsemide, and oral contraceptiveswhen coadministered in healthy volunteers (see Figure 2).Figure Effect of Empagliflozinon the Pharmacokinetics of Various Medications as Displayed as 90%Confidence Interval of Geometric Mean AUC and Cmax Ratios [reference lines indicate 100% (80% 125%)]aempagliflozin,50 mg, once daily; bempagliflozin, 25 mg,once daily; cempagliflozin, 25 mg, singledose; dadministered as simvastatin; eadministered as warfarin racemic mixture; fadministered as Microgynon(R); gadministered as ramipril. figure-1. figure-2.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Glycemic Control. JARDIANCE has been studied asmonotherapy and in combination with metformin, sulfonylurea, pioglitazone,linagliptin, and insulin. JARDIANCE has also been studied in patientswith type diabetes with mild or moderate renal impairment.In patients with type diabetes,treatment with JARDIANCE reduced hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), comparedto placebo. The reduction in HbA1c for JARDIANCE compared with placebowas observed across subgroups including gender, race, geographic region,baseline BMI and duration of disease.MonotherapyAtotal of 986 patients with type diabetes participated in double-blind,placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JARDIANCEmonotherapy.Treatment-naivepatients with inadequately controlled type diabetes entered an open-labelplacebo run-in for weeks. At the end of the run-in period, patientswho remained inadequately controlled and had an HbA1c between and10% were randomized to placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg, JARDIANCE 25 mg,or reference comparator.

Figure 3. Figure 4. 14.2 Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Type Diabetes Mellitusand Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease. The effect of JARDIANCE on cardiovascularrisk in adult patients with type diabetes and established, stable,atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was evaluated in the EMPA-REGOUTCOME study, multicenter, multi-national, randomized, double-blindparallel group trial. The study compared the risk of experiencinga major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) between JARDIANCE andplacebo when these were added to and used concomitantly with standardof care treatments for diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovasculardisease. Coadministered antidiabetic medications were to be kept stablefor the first 12 weeks of the trial. Thereafter, antidiabetic andatherosclerotic therapies could be adjusted, at the discretion ofinvestigators, to ensure participants were treated according to thestandard care for these diseases. total of 7020 patients were treated (JARDIANCE10 mg 2345; JARDIANCE 25 mg 2342; placebo 2333) and followedfor median of 3.1 years. Approximately 72% of the study populationwas Caucasian, 22% was Asian, and 5% was Black. The mean age was63 years and approximately 72% were male.All patients in the study had inadequatelycontrolled type diabetes mellitus at baseline (HbA1c greater thanor equal to 7%). The mean HbA1c at baseline was 8.1% and 57% of participantshad had diabetes for more than 10 years. Approximately 31%, 22% and20% reported past history of neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathyto investigators respectively and the mean eGFR was 74 mL/min/1.73m2. At baseline, patients were treatedwith one (~30%) or more (~70%) antidiabetic medications includingmetformin (74%), insulin (48%), and sulfonylurea (43%).All patients had establishedatherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at baseline including one (82%)or more (18%) of the following; documented history of coronary arterydisease (76%), stroke (23%) or peripheral artery disease (21%). Atbaseline, the mean systolic blood pressure was 136 mmHg, the meandiastolic blood pressure was 76 mmHg, the mean LDL was 86 mg/dL, themean HDL was 44 mg/dL, and the mean urinary albumin to creatinineratio (UACR) was 175 mg/g. At baseline, approximately 81% of patientswere treated with renin angiotensin system inhibitors, 65% with beta-blockers,43% with diuretics, 77% with statins, and 86% with antiplatelet agents(mostly aspirin).The primary endpoint in EMPA-REG OUTCOME was the time to first occurrenceof Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE). major adverse cardiacevent was defined as occurrence of either cardiovascular death ora nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) or nonfatal stroke. The statisticalanalysis plan had pre-specified that the 10 and 25 mg doses wouldbe combined. Cox proportional hazards model was used to test fornon-inferiority against the pre-specified risk margin of 1.3 for thehazard ratio of MACE and superiority on MACE if non-inferiority wasdemonstrated. Type-1 error was controlled across multiples tests usinga hierarchical testing strategy.JARDIANCE significantly reduced the riskof first occurrence of primary composite endpoint of cardiovasculardeath, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke (HR: 0.86;95% CI 0.74, 0.99). The treatment effect was due to significantreduction in the risk of cardiovascular death in subjects randomizedto empagliflozin (HR: 0.62; 95% CI 0.49, 0.77), with no change inthe risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke (seeTable 13 and Figure and 6). Results for the 10 mg and 25 mg empagliflozindoses were consistent with results for the combined dose groups.Table 13 Treatment Effect for the Primary Composite Endpoint,and its Componentsa aTreated set (patientswho had received at least one dose of study drug)bp-value for superiority (2-sided) 0.04 cTotal number of events PlaceboN=2333JARDIANCEN=4687Hazardratio vs placebo(95% CI) Composite ofcardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatalstroke (time to first occurrence)b 282 (12.1%) 490 (10.5%) 0.86 (0.74,0.99) Non-fatal myocardial infarctionc 121 (5.2%) 213 (4.5%) 0.87 (0.70,1.09) Non-fatal strokec 60 (2.6%) 150 (3.2%) 1.24 (0.92,1.67) Cardiovascular deathc 137 (5.9%) 172 (3.7%) 0.62 (0.49,0.77) The efficacy of JARDIANCE on cardiovasculardeath was generally consistent across major demographic and diseasesubgroups.

The recommended dose of JARDIANCE is 10 mg once daily, takenin the morning, with or without food (2.1). Dose may be increased to 25 mg once daily (2.1). Assess renal function before initiating JARDIANCE. Do notinitiate JARDIANCE if eGFR is below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (2.2). Discontinue JARDIANCE if eGFR falls persistently below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (2.2). 2.1 Recommended Dosage. The recommended dose of JARDIANCEis 10 mg once daily in the morning, taken with or without food. Inpatients tolerating JARDIANCE, the dose may be increased to 25 mg [see Clinical Studies (14)].In patients withvolume depletion, correcting this condition prior to initiation ofJARDIANCE is recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.5) and Patient Counseling Information(17)]. 2.2 Patients with RenalImpairment. Assessment of renal function is recommended prior to initiation ofJARDIANCE and periodically thereafter.JARDIANCE should not be initiated in patientswith an eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2.No dose adjustmentis needed in patients with an eGFR greater than or equal to 45 mL/min/1.73m2.JARDIANCE should be discontinued if eGFRis persistently less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.3) and Use in SpecificPopulations (8.6)].

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.


7 DRUGINTERACTIONS. 7.1 Diuretics. Coadministration of empagliflozinwith diuretics resulted in increased urine volume and frequency ofvoids, which might enhance the potential for volume depletion [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].. 7.2 Insulin or InsulinSecretagogues. Coadministration of empagliflozin with insulin or insulin secretagoguesincreases the risk for hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions(5.5)]. 7.3 Positive Urine GlucoseTest. Monitoringglycemic control with urine glucose tests is not recommended in patientstaking SGLT2 inhibitors as SGLT2 inhibitors increase urinary glucoseexcretion and will lead to positive urine glucose tests. Use alternativemethods to monitor glycemic control.. 7.4 Interference with1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) Assay. Monitoring glycemic control with 1,5-AGassay is not recommended as measurements of 1,5-AG are unreliablein assessing glycemic control in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Use alternative methods to monitor glycemic control.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5 Geriatric Use. No JARDIANCE dosage change is recommendedbased on age [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. In studies assessing the efficacyof empagliflozin in improving glycemic control in patients with type2 diabetes, total of 2721 (32%) patients treated with empagliflozinwere 65 years of age and older, and 491 (6%) were 75 years of ageand older. JARDIANCE is expected to have diminished glycemic efficacyin elderly patients with renal impairment [see Use in SpecificPopulations (8.6)]. Therisk of volume depletion-related adverse reactions increased in patientswho were 75 years of age and older to 2.1%, 2.3%, and 4.4% for placebo,JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE 25 mg. The risk of urinary tract infectionsincreased in patients who were 75 years of age and older to 10.5%,15.7%, and 15.1% in patients randomized to placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg,and JARDIANCE 25 mg, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions(5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Hemoglobin A1c monitoring is especiallyuseful for evaluating long-term glycemic control.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT2)is the predominant transporter responsible for reabsorption of glucosefrom the glomerular filtrate back into the circulation. Empagliflozinis an inhibitor of SGLT2. By inhibiting SGLT2, empagliflozin reducesrenal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal thresholdfor glucose, and thereby increases urinary glucose excretion.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Urinary Glucose Excretion In patients with type diabetes,urinary glucose excretion increased immediately following dose ofJARDIANCE and was maintained at the end of 4-week treatment periodaveraging at approximately 64 grams per day with 10 mg empagliflozinand 78 grams per day with 25 mg JARDIANCE once daily [seeClinical Studies (14)]. Urinary Volume In 5-day study, mean 24-hoururine volume increase from baseline was 341 mL on Day and 135 mLon Day of empagliflozin 25 mg once daily treatment.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyIn randomized, placebo-controlled, active-comparator,crossover study, 30 healthy subjects were administered single oraldose of JARDIANCE 25 mg, JARDIANCE 200 mg (8 times the maximum dose),moxifloxacin, and placebo. No increase in QTc was observed with either25 mg or 200 mg empagliflozin.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. AbsorptionThepharmacokinetics of empagliflozin has been characterized in healthyvolunteers and patients with type diabetes and no clinically relevantdifferences were noted between the two populations. After oral administration,peak plasma concentrations of empagliflozin were reached at 1.5 hourspost-dose. Thereafter, plasma concentrations declined in biphasicmanner with rapid distribution phase and relatively slow terminalphase. The steady state mean plasma AUC and Cmax were 1870 nmol.h/L and 259 nmol/L, respectively, with 10 mg empagliflozinonce daily treatment, and 4740 nmol.h/L and 687 nmol/L, respectively,with 25 mg empagliflozin once daily treatment. Systemic exposureof empagliflozin increased in dose-proportional manner in the therapeuticdose range. The single-dose and steady-state pharmacokinetic parametersof empagliflozin were similar, suggesting linear pharmacokineticswith respect to time.Administration of 25 mg empagliflozin after intake of high-fatand high-calorie meal resulted in slightly lower exposure; AUC decreasedby approximately 16% and Cmax decreased byapproximately 37%, compared to fasted condition. The observed effectof food on empagliflozin pharmacokinetics was not considered clinicallyrelevant and empagliflozin may be administered with or without food.DistributionThe apparent steady-state volume of distribution wasestimated to be 73.8 based on population pharmacokinetic analysis. Following administration of an oral [14C]-empagliflozin solution to healthy subjects, the red blood cellpartitioning was approximately 36.8% and plasma protein binding was86.2%. MetabolismNo major metabolites of empagliflozin were detected inhuman plasma and the most abundant metabolites were three glucuronideconjugates (2-O-, 3-O-, and 6-O-glucuronide). Systemic exposure ofeach metabolite was less than 10% of total drug-related material. In vitro studies suggested that the primary route of metabolismof empagliflozin in humans is glucuronidation by the uridine 5-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferasesUGT2B7, UGT1A3, UGT1A8, and UGT1A9.EliminationTheapparent terminal elimination half-life of empagliflozin was estimatedto be 12.4 and apparent oral clearance was 10.6 L/h based on thepopulation pharmacokinetic analysis. Following once-daily dosing,up to 22% accumulation, with respect to plasma AUC, was observed atsteady-state, which was consistent with empagliflozin half-life. Following administration of an oral [14C]-empagliflozin solution to healthy subjects, approximately 95.6%of the drug-related radioactivity was eliminated in feces (41.2%)or urine (54.4%). The majority of drug-related radioactivity recoveredin feces was unchanged parent drug and approximately half of drug-relatedradioactivity excreted in urine was unchanged parent drug.Specific PopulationsRenal ImpairmentInpatients with mild (eGFR: 60 to less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2), moderate (eGFR: 30 to less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2), and severe (eGFR: less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2) renal impairment and subjects withkidney failure/end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, AUC of empagliflozinincreased by approximately 18%, 20%, 66%, and 48%, respectively, comparedto subjects with normal renal function. Peak plasma levels of empagliflozinwere similar in subjects with moderate renal impairment and kidneyfailure/ESRD compared to patients with normal renal function. Peakplasma levels of empagliflozin were roughly 20% higher in subjectswith mild and severe renal impairment as compared to subjects withnormal renal function. Population pharmacokinetic analysis showedthat the apparent oral clearance of empagliflozin decreased, witha decrease in eGFR leading to an increase in drug exposure. However,the fraction of empagliflozin that was excreted unchanged in urine,and urinary glucose excretion, declined with decrease in eGFR.Hepatic ImpairmentIn subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairmentaccording to the Child-Pugh classification, AUC of empagliflozin increasedby approximately 23%, 47%, and 75%, and Cmax increased by approximately 4%, 23%, and 48%, respectively, comparedto subjects with normal hepatic function.Effects of Age, Body Mass Index,Gender, and RaceBased on the population PKanalysis, age, body mass index (BMI), gender and race (Asians versusprimarily Whites) do not have clinically meaningful effect on pharmacokineticsof empagliflozin [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].PediatricStudies characterizing the pharmacokinetics of empagliflozin inpediatric patients have not been performed.Drug Interactions In vitro Assessment of Drug InteractionsEmpagliflozin does not inhibit, inactivate, or induce CYP450 isoforms. In vitro data suggest that the primary route of metabolismof empagliflozin in humans is glucuronidation by the uridine 5-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferasesUGT1A3, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7. Empagliflozin does not inhibitUGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, or UGT2B7. Therefore, no effect ofempagliflozin is anticipated on concomitantly administered drugs thatare substrates of the major CYP450 isoforms or UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A8,UGT1A9, or UGT2B7. The effect of UGT induction (e.g., induction byrifampicin or any other UGT enzyme inducer) on empagliflozin exposurehas not been evaluated.Empagliflozin is substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breastcancer resistance protein (BCRP), but it does not inhibit these effluxtransporters at therapeutic doses. Based on in vitro studies, empagliflozin is considered unlikely to cause interactionswith drugs that are P-gp substrates. Empagliflozin is substrateof the human uptake transporters OAT3, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3, but notOAT1 and OCT2. Empagliflozin does not inhibit any of these human uptaketransporters at clinically relevant plasma concentrations and, therefore,no effect of empagliflozin is anticipated on concomitantly administereddrugs that are substrates of these uptake transporters.In vivo Assessment of Drug InteractionsNo dose adjustmentof JARDIANCE is recommended when coadministered with commonly prescribedmedicinal products based on results of the described pharmacokineticstudies. Empagliflozin pharmacokinetics were similar with and withoutcoadministration of metformin, glimepiride, pioglitazone, sitagliptin,linagliptin, warfarin, verapamil, ramipril, and simvastatin in healthyvolunteers and with or without coadministration of hydrochlorothiazideand torsemide in patients with type diabetes (see Figure 1). Theobserved increases in overall exposure (AUC) of empagliflozin followingcoadministration with gemfibrozil, rifampicin, or probenecid are notclinically relevant. In subjects with normal renal function, coadministrationof empagliflozin with probenecid resulted in 30% decrease in thefraction of empagliflozin excreted in urine without any effect on24-hour urinary glucose excretion. The relevance of this observationto patients with renal impairment is unknown.Figure Effect of Various Medicationson the Pharmacokinetics of Empagliflozin as Displayed as 90% ConfidenceInterval of Geometric Mean AUC and Cmax Ratios[reference lines indicate 100% (80% 125%)]aempagliflozin,50 mg, once daily; bempagliflozin, 25 mg,single dose; cempagliflozin, 25 mg, oncedaily; dempagliflozin, 10 mg, single doseEmpagliflozin had no clinicallyrelevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of metformin, glimepiride,pioglitazone, sitagliptin, linagliptin, warfarin, digoxin, ramipril,simvastatin, hydrochlorothiazide, torsemide, and oral contraceptiveswhen coadministered in healthy volunteers (see Figure 2).Figure Effect of Empagliflozinon the Pharmacokinetics of Various Medications as Displayed as 90%Confidence Interval of Geometric Mean AUC and Cmax Ratios [reference lines indicate 100% (80% 125%)]aempagliflozin,50 mg, once daily; bempagliflozin, 25 mg,once daily; cempagliflozin, 25 mg, singledose; dadministered as simvastatin; eadministered as warfarin racemic mixture; fadministered as Microgynon(R); gadministered as ramipril. figure-1. figure-2.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on animal data showingadverse renal effects, JARDIANCE is not recommended during the secondand third trimesters of pregnancy.Limited data available with JARDIANCE inpregnant women are not sufficient to determine drug-associated riskfor major birth defects and miscarriage. There are risks to the motherand fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations].In animal studies, adverse renal changes were observed inrats when empagliflozin was administered during period of renaldevelopment corresponding to the late second and third trimestersof human pregnancy. Doses approximately 13-times the maximum clinicaldose caused renal pelvic and tubule dilatations that were reversible.Empagliflozin was not teratogenic in rats and rabbits up to 300 mg/kg/day,which approximates 48-times and 128-times, respectively, the maximumclinical dose of 25 mg when administered during organogenesis [see Data].The estimatedbackground risk of major birth defects is 6-10% in women with pre-gestationaldiabetes with HbA1c >7 and has been reported to be as high as 20-25%in women with HbA1c >10. The estimated background risk of miscarriagefor the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population,the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriagein clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.Clinical ConsiderationsDisease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetalrisk: Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases thematernal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, pre-eclampsia, spontaneousabortions, preterm delivery, stillbirth, and delivery complications.Poorly controlled diabetes increases the fetal risk for major birthdefects, stillbirth, and macrosomia related morbidity.DataAnimal DataEmpagliflozin dosed directly to juvenile rats from postnatal day(PND) 21 until PND 90 at doses of 1, 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day causedincreased kidney weights and renal tubular and pelvic dilatation at100 mg/kg/day, which approximates 13-times the maximum clinical doseof 25 mg, based on AUC. These findings were not observed after a13 week drug-free recovery period. These outcomes occurred with drugexposure during periods of renal development in rats that correspondto the late second and third trimester of human renal development. In embryo-fetal developmentstudies in rats and rabbits, empagliflozin was administered for intervalscoinciding with the first trimester period of organogenesis in humans.Doses up to 300 mg/kg/day, which approximates 48-times (rats) and128-times (rabbits) the maximum clinical dose of 25 mg (based on AUC),did not result in adverse developmental effects. In rats, at higherdoses of empagliflozin causing maternal toxicity, malformations oflimb bones increased in fetuses at 700 mg/kg/day or 154-times the25 mg maximum clinical dose. Empagliflozin crosses the placenta andreaches fetal tissues in rats. In the rabbit, higher doses of empagliflozinresulted in maternal and fetal toxicity at 700 mg/kg/day, or 139-timesthe 25 mg maximum clinical dose.In pre- and postnatal development studiesin pregnant rats, empagliflozin was administered from gestation day6 through to lactation day 20 (weaning) at up to 100 mg/kg/day (approximately16 times the 25 mg maximum clinical dose) without maternal toxicity. Reduced body weight was observed in the offspring at greater thanor equal to 30 mg/kg/day (approximately times the 25 mg maximumclinical dose).

2.1 Recommended Dosage. The recommended dose of JARDIANCEis 10 mg once daily in the morning, taken with or without food. Inpatients tolerating JARDIANCE, the dose may be increased to 25 mg [see Clinical Studies (14)].In patients withvolume depletion, correcting this condition prior to initiation ofJARDIANCE is recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.5) and Patient Counseling Information(17)].

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. Pregnancy: Advise females of the potentialrisk to fetus especially during the second and third trimesters(8.1)Lactation: JARDIANCE is not recommendedwhen breastfeeding (8.2)Geriatric patients: Higher incidence ofadverse reactions related to volume depletion and reduced renal function(5.1, 5.3, 8.5)Patients with renal impairment: Higherincidence of adverse reactions related to reduced renal function (2.2, 5.3, 8.6). Pregnancy: Advise females of the potentialrisk to fetus especially during the second and third trimesters(8.1). Lactation: JARDIANCE is not recommendedwhen breastfeeding (8.2). Geriatric patients: Higher incidence ofadverse reactions related to volume depletion and reduced renal function(5.1, 5.3, 8.5). Patients with renal impairment: Higherincidence of adverse reactions related to reduced renal function (2.2, 5.3, 8.6). 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on animal data showingadverse renal effects, JARDIANCE is not recommended during the secondand third trimesters of pregnancy.Limited data available with JARDIANCE inpregnant women are not sufficient to determine drug-associated riskfor major birth defects and miscarriage. There are risks to the motherand fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations].In animal studies, adverse renal changes were observed inrats when empagliflozin was administered during period of renaldevelopment corresponding to the late second and third trimestersof human pregnancy. Doses approximately 13-times the maximum clinicaldose caused renal pelvic and tubule dilatations that were reversible.Empagliflozin was not teratogenic in rats and rabbits up to 300 mg/kg/day,which approximates 48-times and 128-times, respectively, the maximumclinical dose of 25 mg when administered during organogenesis [see Data].The estimatedbackground risk of major birth defects is 6-10% in women with pre-gestationaldiabetes with HbA1c >7 and has been reported to be as high as 20-25%in women with HbA1c >10. The estimated background risk of miscarriagefor the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population,the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriagein clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.Clinical ConsiderationsDisease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetalrisk: Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases thematernal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, pre-eclampsia, spontaneousabortions, preterm delivery, stillbirth, and delivery complications.Poorly controlled diabetes increases the fetal risk for major birthdefects, stillbirth, and macrosomia related morbidity.DataAnimal DataEmpagliflozin dosed directly to juvenile rats from postnatal day(PND) 21 until PND 90 at doses of 1, 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day causedincreased kidney weights and renal tubular and pelvic dilatation at100 mg/kg/day, which approximates 13-times the maximum clinical doseof 25 mg, based on AUC. These findings were not observed after a13 week drug-free recovery period. These outcomes occurred with drugexposure during periods of renal development in rats that correspondto the late second and third trimester of human renal development. In embryo-fetal developmentstudies in rats and rabbits, empagliflozin was administered for intervalscoinciding with the first trimester period of organogenesis in humans.Doses up to 300 mg/kg/day, which approximates 48-times (rats) and128-times (rabbits) the maximum clinical dose of 25 mg (based on AUC),did not result in adverse developmental effects. In rats, at higherdoses of empagliflozin causing maternal toxicity, malformations oflimb bones increased in fetuses at 700 mg/kg/day or 154-times the25 mg maximum clinical dose. Empagliflozin crosses the placenta andreaches fetal tissues in rats. In the rabbit, higher doses of empagliflozinresulted in maternal and fetal toxicity at 700 mg/kg/day, or 139-timesthe 25 mg maximum clinical dose.In pre- and postnatal development studiesin pregnant rats, empagliflozin was administered from gestation day6 through to lactation day 20 (weaning) at up to 100 mg/kg/day (approximately16 times the 25 mg maximum clinical dose) without maternal toxicity. Reduced body weight was observed in the offspring at greater thanor equal to 30 mg/kg/day (approximately times the 25 mg maximumclinical dose).. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no informationregarding the presence of JARDIANCE in human milk, the effects ofJARDIANCE on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Empagliflozin is present in the milk of lactating rats [see Data]. Since human kidney maturation occurs in utero and during the first years of life when lactational exposure mayoccur, there may be risk to the developing human kidney.Because of the potential forserious adverse reactions in breastfed infant, including the potentialfor empagliflozin to affect postnatal renal development, advise womenthat use of JARDIANCE is not recommended while breastfeeding.Data Empagliflozin was present at low levelin rat fetal tissues after single oral dose to the dams at gestationday 18. In rat milk, the mean milk to plasma ratio ranged from 0.634-5, and was greater than one from to 24 hours post-dose. The meanmaximal milk to plasma ratio of occurred at hours post-dose, suggestingaccumulation of empagliflozin in the milk. Juvenile rats directlyexposed to empagliflozin showed risk to the developing kidney (renalpelvic and tubular dilatations) during maturation.. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of JARDIANCE in pediatric patientsunder 18 years of age have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. No JARDIANCE dosage change is recommendedbased on age [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. In studies assessing the efficacyof empagliflozin in improving glycemic control in patients with type2 diabetes, total of 2721 (32%) patients treated with empagliflozinwere 65 years of age and older, and 491 (6%) were 75 years of ageand older. JARDIANCE is expected to have diminished glycemic efficacyin elderly patients with renal impairment [see Use in SpecificPopulations (8.6)]. Therisk of volume depletion-related adverse reactions increased in patientswho were 75 years of age and older to 2.1%, 2.3%, and 4.4% for placebo,JARDIANCE 10 mg, and JARDIANCE 25 mg. The risk of urinary tract infectionsincreased in patients who were 75 years of age and older to 10.5%,15.7%, and 15.1% in patients randomized to placebo, JARDIANCE 10 mg,and JARDIANCE 25 mg, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions(5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].. 8.6 Renal Impairment. The efficacy and safety of JARDIANCEwere evaluated in study of patients with mild and moderate renalimpairment [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. In this study, 195 patients exposed to JARDIANCEhad an eGFR between 60 and 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 91 patients exposed to JARDIANCE had an eGFR between 45 and 60mL/min/1.73 m2 and 97 patients exposedto JARDIANCE had an eGFR between 30 and 45 mL/min/1.73 m2. The glucose lowering benefit of JARDIANCE 25 mgdecreased in patients with worsening renal function. The risks ofrenal impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)], volume depletion adversereactions and urinary tract infection-related adverse reactions increasedwith worsening renal function.In large cardiovascular outcomes study,there were 1819 patients with eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The cardiovascular death findings in this subgroupwere consistent with the overall findings [see Clinical Studies(14.2)]. The efficacy and safety of JARDIANCE havenot been established in patients with severe renal impairment, withESRD, or receiving dialysis. JARDIANCE is not expected to be effectivein these patient populations [see Dosage and Administration(2.2), Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.3)]. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment. JARDIANCE may be used in patientswith hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Hypotension: Before initiating JARDIANCEassess and correct volume status in patients with renal impairment,the elderly, in patients with low systolic blood pressure, and inpatients on diuretics. Monitor for signs and symptoms during therapy.(5.1)Ketoacidosis: Assess patients who presentwith signs and symptoms of metabolic acidosis for ketoacidosis, regardlessof blood glucose level.

Patients on JARDIANCE may require monitoring andtemporary discontinuation of therapy in clinical situations knownto predispose to ketoacidosis. (5.2). Acute kidney injury and impairment in renal function: Consider temporarily discontinuing in settings of reduced oral intakeor fluid losses. If acute kidney injury occurs, discontinue and promptlytreat. Monitor renal function during therapy. (5.3). Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis: Evaluatepatients for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections and treatpromptly, if indicated (5.4). Hypoglycemia: Consider lowering the doseof insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemiawhen initiating JARDIANCE (5.5). Genital mycotic infections: Monitor andtreat as appropriate (5.6). Hypersensitivity reactions: DiscontinueJARDIANCE, treat promptly, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve(5.7). Increased LDL-C: Monitor and treat as appropriate(5.8). 5.1 Hypotension. JARDIANCE causes intravascularvolume contraction. Symptomatic hypotension may occur after initiatingJARDIANCE [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] particularly in patients with renal impairment,the elderly, in patients with low systolic blood pressure, and inpatients on diuretics. Before initiating JARDIANCE, assess for volumecontraction and correct volume status if indicated. Monitor for signsand symptoms of hypotension after initiating therapy and increasemonitoring in clinical situations where volume contraction is expected [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].. 5.2 Ketoacidosis. Reports of ketoacidosis, seriouslife-threatening condition requiring urgent hospitalization have beenidentified in postmarketing surveillance in patients with type andtype diabetes mellitus receiving sodium glucose co-transporter-2(SGLT2) inhibitors, including JARDIANCE. Fatal cases of ketoacidosishave been reported in patients taking JARDIANCE. JARDIANCE is notindicated for the treatment of patients with type diabetes mellitus [see Indications and Usage (1)].Patients treatedwith JARDIANCE who present with signs and symptoms consistent withsevere metabolic acidosis should be assessed for ketoacidosis regardlessof presenting blood glucose levels, as ketoacidosis associated withJARDIANCE may be present even if blood glucose levels are less than250 mg/dL. If ketoacidosis is suspected, JARDIANCE should be discontinued,patient should be evaluated, and prompt treatment should be instituted.Treatment of ketoacidosis may require insulin, fluid and carbohydratereplacement.In manyof the postmarketing reports, and particularly in patients with type1 diabetes, the presence of ketoacidosis was not immediately recognizedand institution of treatment was delayed because presenting bloodglucose levels were below those typically expected for diabetic ketoacidosis(often less than 250 mg/dL). Signs and symptoms at presentation wereconsistent with dehydration and severe metabolic acidosis and includednausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, generalized malaise, and shortnessof breath. In some but not all cases, factors predisposing to ketoacidosissuch as insulin dose reduction, acute febrile illness, reduced caloricintake due to illness or surgery, pancreatic disorders suggestinginsulin deficiency (e.g., type diabetes, history of pancreatitisor pancreatic surgery), and alcohol abuse were identified.Before initiating JARDIANCE,consider factors in the patient history that may predispose to ketoacidosisincluding pancreatic insulin deficiency from any cause, caloric restriction,and alcohol abuse. In patients treated with JARDIANCE consider monitoringfor ketoacidosis and temporarily discontinuing JARDIANCE in clinicalsituations known to predispose to ketoacidosis (e.g., prolonged fastingdue to acute illness or surgery).. 5.3 Acute Kidney Injuryand Impairment in Renal Function. JARDIANCE causes intravascular volume contraction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] and can cause renal impairment [see Adverse Reactions(6.1)]. There have been postmarketingreports of acute kidney injury, some requiring hospitalization anddialysis, in patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors, including JARDIANCE;some reports involved patients younger than 65 years of age.Before initiating JARDIANCE,consider factors that may predispose patients to acute kidney injuryincluding hypovolemia, chronic renal insufficiency, congestive heartfailure and concomitant medications (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs,NSAIDs). Consider temporarily discontinuing JARDIANCE in any settingof reduced oral intake (such as acute illness or fasting) or fluidlosses (such as gastrointestinal illness or excessive heat exposure);monitor patients for signs and symptoms of acute kidney injury. Ifacute kidney injury occurs, discontinue JARDIANCE promptly and institutetreatment. JARDIANCEincreases serum creatinine and decreases eGFR. Patients with hypovolemiamay be more susceptible to these changes. Renal function abnormalitiescan occur after initiating JARDIANCE [see Adverse Reactions(6.1)]. Renal function shouldbe evaluated prior to initiation of JARDIANCE and monitored periodicallythereafter. More frequent renal function monitoring is recommendedin patients with an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Use of JARDIANCE is not recommended when eGFR is persistently lessthan 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and is contraindicatedin patients with an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Contraindications (4)and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].. 5.4 Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis. There have been postmarketingreports of serious urinary tract infections including urosepsis andpyelonephritis requiring hospitalization in patients receiving SGLT2inhibitors, including JARDIANCE. Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors increasesthe risk for urinary tract infections. Evaluate patients for signsand symptoms of urinary tract infections and treat promptly, if indicated [see Adverse Reactions (6)].. 5.5 Hypoglycemia withConcomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues. Insulin and insulin secretagoguesare known to cause hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia is increasedwhen JARDIANCE is used in combination with insulin secretagogues (e.g.,sulfonylurea) or insulin [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Therefore, lower doseof the insulin secretagogue or insulin may be required to reduce therisk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with JARDIANCE.. 5.6 Genital Mycotic Infections. JARDIANCE increases the riskfor genital mycotic infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Patients with historyof chronic or recurrent genital mycotic infections were more likelyto develop genital mycotic infections. Monitor and treat as appropriate.. 5.7 HypersensitivityReactions. There have been postmarketing reports of serioushypersensitivity reactions, (e.g., angioedema) in patients treatedwith JARDIANCE. If hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinueJARDIANCE; treat promptly per standard of care, and monitor untilsigns and symptoms resolve. JARDIANCE is contraindicated in patientswith previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to empagliflozinor any of the excipients in JARDIANCE [see Contraindications(4)].. 5.8 Increased Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C). Increases in LDL-C can occurwith JARDIANCE [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor and treat as appropriate.
