Pioglar 15 MG Description

Pioglar 15 tablet is an anti-diabetic medicine. It is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition in which your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control b

lood sugar levels and your body is also unable to efficiently use its own insulin. This causes high blood sugar levels in your body, which can cause medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and poor blood flow in your hands and legs. Pioglar 15 tablet contains pioglitazone as the active ingredient. It works by controlling the levels of sugar in your body and making better use of insulin. You should take this medicine in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Do not miss any dose or abruptly stop taking Pioglar 15 tablet. Before starting this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, inform the doctor about your detailed medical history, including all the medicines you are currently taking. During treatment, patients are advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to get the best possible effect of this medicine.
