New indication for Jardiance

Country

United States

The diabetes and cardiovascular medicine Jardiance (empagliflozin) has been approved in the US to treat a wider range of patients with heart failure, giving it a new role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalisation in adults. Jardiance is already approved as a supplement to diet and exercise to improve glucose control in adults with Type 2 diabetes, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
