About GLIMEPIRIDE 2MG+METFORMIN HCL (SR) 500MG+PIOGLITAZONE HCL 15MG
Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: Glimepiride , Metformin and Pioglitazone. They work by different mechanisms to provide better control of blood sugar when single or dual therapy is not effective. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in order to lower the blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide. It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione which further increases insulin sensitivity.Optimized Triple Therapy for Type 2 DiabetesThis tablet combines Glimepiride, Metformin (Sustained Release), and Pioglitazone, targeting multiple mechanisms to improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The integrated approach enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose output, making it suitable for patients requiring intensified therapy beyond single or dual medication regimens.

It is important to keep the product in its original packaging and out of reach of children. Always take the medicine strictly as prescribed, and never share it with others, as improper use can lead to serious health risks.
