Pioz mf (7.5) was a fdc (fixed dose combination). Fdc is a single tablet containing more than one drug. Government removed many fdcs last year which they found was inappropriate or not required, pioz mf (7.5) was one of them. So yes, it was banned for sale by government, but not due to safety issue. Consider the fact that pioz (7.5) is still available for patients but not it's fdc with metformin. So if your mother was on pioz mf (7.5) earlier, she can now continue taking pioz (7.5) and metformin...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. It is incomplete. There is no information on what is the fasting, pp glucose level or hba1c%, or your weight, height, dietary pattern and extent of physical activity. So difficult to give any suggestions. Thanks.

Since you are overweight, instead of pioglitazone we can start other medication which may help in weight loss.

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.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Hypoglycemia displays differently from person to person. Glucose maintenance is like a thermostat and may require adjustment based on how you’re feeling.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

There are several means to gain control over your diabetes. Few of them as below: 1. Eating at regular intervals 2. Avoiding foods high in processed and invisible sugar 3. Good sleep hygiene 4. Consistent workouts to be able to give you specific guidelines, we would need to gain a deeper insight into your lifestyle and work with you in greater proximity. Do let me know if you're keen and we could take this prospect forward. Meanwhile, feel free to consult me privately.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The tablet mentioned is to be taken for treating diabetes for quite a long time. Because diabetes is going to go away after 16 days. Since no other information is guven like fasting, pp glucose & hba1c%, no further comments can be made. If you have developed diabetes then treatment has to be continued for life time. If you have any questions please come back with all the necessary details. Thanks.

Nitrosamines increase the risk of cancer at above acceptable levels over long periods of time. We don't expect short term exposure at levels above acceptable levels would increase cancer. However, consult a good physician for further information in this regard.
