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. You should take this medicine in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Do not miss any dose or abruptly stop taking Pioglit 15 tablet. Before starting this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also, notify the doctor of your detailed medical history, including all the medicines you are 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.
