Pioglit 15 MG Description

Pioglit 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 use its insulin efficiently. 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. Pioglit 15 tablet contains pioglitazone as the active ingredient. It works by controlling your body's sugar levels and making better insulin use.

Before starting this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding.
