Empagliflozin and Repaglinide interaction

Hypoglycemia: Adult patients taking an insulin secretagogue or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

Consider lowering the dosage of insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when initiating JARDIANCE.

Hypoglycemia Insulin and insulin secretagogues are known to cause hypoglycemia.

In adult patients, the risk of hypoglycemia may be increased when JARDIANCE is used in combination with insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin.

The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogues) or insulin.

Factors which may increase the risk of hypoglycemia include changes in meal pattern (e.g., macronutrient content), changes in level of physical activity, changes to co-administered medication [see Drug Interactions (7) ] , and concomitant use with other antidiabetic agents.

Drugs That May Decrease the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of Repaglinide Tablets Intervention: Repaglinide tablets dose increases and increased frequency of glucose monitoring may be required when co-administered.

CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 Inducers and Drugs That May Decrease the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of repaglinide tablets : Co-administration may require repaglinide tablets dose increases and increased frequency of glucose monitoring ( 7 )

Examples: Antidiabetic agents, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), pentoxifylline, pramlintide, propoxyphene, salicylates, somatostatin analogs (e.g., octreotide), and sulfonamide antibiotics.
