Overview Piotame MG 1mg/500mg/15mg Tablet SR

Glimepiride/Metformin/Pioglitazone extended-release tablets (1mg/500mg/15mg) are a triple-combination medication managing blood glucose. This treatment, used alongside diet and exercise, enhances glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It improves insulin effectiveness, reducing blood sugar. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Take with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Missed doses should be taken promptly unless the next dose is imminent; in that case, omit the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Never double the dose. Overdosage can result in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Concurrent use with other diabetes medications, alcohol, or skipped meals increases hypoglycemia risk; regular blood glucose monitoring is essential. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, bone fractures, and respiratory infections. Patients with kidney, liver, or heart conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding women, should consult their doctor before commencing treatment. Kidney function tests will be conducted prior to therapy initiation. Limit alcohol consumption as it may heighten the risk of adverse effects.

How Piotame MG 1mg/500mg/15mg Tablet SR works:

Piotame MG tablets (1mg/500mg/15mg sustained-release) combine glimepiride, metformin, and pioglitazone—three distinct antidiabetic agents. Their synergistic action enhances blood sugar management when monotherapy or dual drug regimens prove insufficient. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates pancreatic insulin secretion to reduce blood glucose levels. Metformin, a biguanide, acts by decreasing hepatic glucose production, slowing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin responsiveness. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, augments insulin sensitivity, further aiding glycemic control.
