Pioglu-g 15/2 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): As a sulfonylurea class of medicine, glimepiride works by stimulating your pancreas to secrete more insulin. This results from it binding to specific receptors on pancreatic beta cells. Additionally, it enhances the sensitivity of peripheral tissues (tissues outside of your organs) to insulin, allowing for better glucose uptake and utilisation.

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): Falling under the thiazolidinedione class of medications, pioglitazone increases the sensitivity of muscle, fat, and liver cells to insulin. This action allows these tissues to absorb glucose more effectively from your bloodstream, therefore reducing blood sugar levels. Moreover, pioglitazone decreases glucose production in the liver.

• Store Pioglu-g 15/2 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature.

• Keep it in a closed container to protect it from light and moisture.

• It's important to place the medicine out of reach of children.

• Ensure you check the expiry date on the packaging before use.

• Include whole grains, lean protein, fruits, and vegetables in your diet. These foods help manage blood sugar levels, supporting the action of Pioglu-g 15/2 MG Tablet 10.

• Engage in regular physical activity, like brisk walking or cycling. Regular exercise can improve your body's sensitivity to insulin and help control your blood sugar levels.
