To find out if the treatment will be safe for you, you will need to check your GFR factor, the glomerular filtration rate.
Based on the results of this test, your doctor can decide if the treatment is right for you.
According to the manufacturer:
"Due to the mechanism of action of empagliflozin, its effectiveness depends on renal function. No dose adjustment is required in patients with an eGFR of ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or CrCl ≥ 60 mL/min."
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
