Glitanir Tablet 10 contains pioglitazone (15 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Activates PPAR-γ nuclear receptors: Pioglitazone is a selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ). By activating these receptors, it influences the functioning of genes responsible for managing glucose production, transport and usage.

• Reduces insulin resistance: This action of pioglitazone reduces insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral tissues. By doing so, it enhances insulin-dependent glucose disposal and decreases hepatic glucose output – processes vital for controlling blood glucose levels.

• Store Glitanir Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• The storage area should be dry and away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Keep the medicine in its original, tightly closed container to protect it from moisture.

• Always ensure it's out of reach of children

• As Glitanir Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes, you should follow a balanced diet that's low in sugar. This helps control blood glucose levels and boosts the medicine's efficacy.

• Regular physical activity is crucial. Light exercises like walking can enhance your body's sensitivity to insulin, which aids in keeping your blood sugar levels stable. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
