Health Query

I am 60 year old male, and recently suffered from a minor heart attack, and also suffer from diabetes. So I was prescribed with Glimestar PM2, but I came to know that it contains pioglitazone (15 mg) which is not good for heart patients. So is it safe for me to continue with this medicine?

Metformin is safest for heart patients. Calculate the dose after a trial, while taking dose and checking blood sugar.

Dr. Gitanjali

In pt of pcod there is increased insulin resistance ,metformin being a insulin sensitizer drug decreases the insulin resistance, it also helps in reducing wt and in ovulation. Total dose is 1500 mg taken in 2 or 3 divided doses.
Lifestyle changes for wt reduction should also be adopted.

please give following details: weight, height, waist circumference, fasting and pp (current) and hba1c%. Pioglitazone was banned only briefly, now it is available. Still better not to use. After I get all the details I would be able to guide. Your sugar levels now look good. But please give all the details.

According to the treatment you are getting, I can see the effort of your doctor. I think you should consider taking insulin atleast for one time in a day to control it along with your medication. As you have hba1c of 10.8, it's good for your health to start insulin atleast once daily. Pls consult to your doctor about it or you can consult me online m.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the products are same. The er refers to extended release, which means the drug is released slowly over 12 hours in the gut. That helps maintain a longer therapeutic level. It is beneficial more so if a person has any side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances if plain metformin is taken. Both are fine. Thanks.

Pioglitazone in a dose of 7. 5 mg is safe and yes it can be changed to other drugs as well. Kindly consult privately for proper personalised management.
