Glizid Total P15 Tablet contains three active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works to reduce the production of glucose in your liver, and increases insulin sensitivity. This leads to improved glucose uptake and utilisation by your body's tissues.

• Gliclazide (60 mg): This sulfonylurea class of medicine works by stimulating your pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood glucose levels.

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): This thiazolidinedione enhances insulin sensitivity in your muscle, fat, and liver cells. This action allows for better glucose utilisation and helps keep blood sugar levels under control.
