Glycinorm Total 60 Tablet is an effective combination medicine that works in multiple ways:

• Gliclazide (60 mg): Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea that prompts the pancreas to release more insulin. By binding to specific receptors on the pancreatic cells, it helps lower blood glucose levels, particularly after meals.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin is a biguanide that enhances insulin sensitivity and curbs glucose production in the liver. It triggers an enzyme called AMPK, which manages cellular energy metabolism. Metformin also reduces the absorption of glucose from the intestines and boosts glucose uptake in peripheral tissues.

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that improves insulin sensitivity in various tissues such as muscle, fat, and the liver. It turns on PPAR-γ, a nuclear receptor that guides the transcription of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Pioglitazone also reduces inflammation and betters endothelial function.
