Piolon 15mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Piolon 15 Tablet is a medicine used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains pioglitazone as its active ingredient, which helps your body use insulin more effectively. This allows sugar in your blood to be taken up by the cells and used for energy, helping to lower high blood sugar levels and keep them stable over time.
Managing diabetes is not just about taking medicine, but also about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. While taking Piolon 15 Tablet, it is important to follow a balanced diet, avoid sugary foods, and exercise regularly as advised by your doctor. These healthy habits work together with the medicine to improve your blood sugar control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, or heart disease.
You should take Piolon 15 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day for the best results. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medicine without your doctor’s advice, even if your blood sugar levels improve. Your doctor may ask you to check your blood sugar regularly to see how well the medicine is working and to adjust the dose if needed.
Before starting Piolon 15 Tablet, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. You should also share details about your medical history, especially if you have any heart, liver, or bladder-related problems. This will help your doctor choose the right dose and monitor your health during treatment.
With proper use, regular monitoring, and healthy lifestyle changes, Piolon 15 Tablet can help you keep your blood sugar levels under control and support your long-term well-being. Always follow your doctor’s advice and attend regular check-ups to ensure safe and effective diabetes management.
