This medication is designed for patients who require more than one drug to manage their blood sugar levels effectively. The product comes in a strip of 10 tablets.

Composition:

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): A thiazolidinedione that works by increasing insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissue and reducing glucose production in the liver.

Dosage and Administration:

Precautions:

• Kidney and Liver Function: Caution is needed in patients with impaired kidney or liver function. Regular monitoring of kidney function is advised, especially since Metformin and Pioglitazone can impact renal and hepatic functions.
