Pioglit 30 MG Tablet Health Feed

Pio is pioglitazone. Few years back that drug was banned. But now it is proved that it is not harmful. You continue.

Which medicines you r taking? pioglitazone can cause pedal edema otherwise rest medicines unlikely to cause it. What's your blood. Pressure? any symptoms of breathlessness on routine activity?

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Recently some combinations containing multiple drugs are banned. In that case you may have to consult your doctor and aske for substitute prescription. Because that tablet has Glimiperide, Met formin and Pioglitazone. So do consult your doctor. Thanks.

It is not a good substitute as piz mf contains two medicines-pioglitazone 7.5 mg and metformin 500 mg while Glycomet contains only one-metformin 500 mg in sustained release form.

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.

Gluconorm pg2 contains three salts including tab. Pioglutazone 15 mg (it is very good insulin sensitizer, it takes 6 wks to make good effect)
gluconorm g2 does not contain pioglitazone
please first send me your diabetic profile reports.
Then I will guide you.

Metformin is a safe drug to be used in diabetes because chances of hypoglycemia are very less with it.
Pioz (Pioglitazone) is another drug used to control blood sugar with different mechanism.
Usually second drug is added when blood sugar is not controlled with diet restrictions, regular exercise and single medicine.

JARDIANCE can be taken along with many common type 2 diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulfonylurea, pioglitazone, and insulin. But, if you take JARDIANCE with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is higher.

In t2 dm there is insulin resistance but there are no antibodies against it. Insulin resistance can be reduced by maintaining near normal body weight and a bmi of 23kg/m2. Exercising for more than 1 h a day is a good method of improving insulin resistance. Drugs like metformin and pioglitazone also help in reducing the resistance.

Dear, Yes your sugar levels are not well controlled and you are on a number of medications. But do not worry you still do not need to be insulin as we can still increase the doses of your medications. Glimepiride 1 mg can be increased so can met for min and pioglitazone. However januvia or sisal up tin is at the highest dose possible.
