At 24 weeks, patients on metformin plus empagliflozin (Jardiance) 10mg daily lost 2.5% of their body weight. Patients on metformin plus 25 mg lost 2.9% and patients on metformin alone lost 0.5%. That is meaningful weight loss in a short period of time simply based on medication choices for diabetes.
THAT's interesting. I looked quick to see what Empagliflozin is - my quick search said it treats DM2 and heart failure with reduced ejection fractio?. Hm! t's still on patent?

Yes. Still on patent and expensive.
