CompositionGLYCIPHAGE P15 Tablet 10 is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when a single medicine is not enough. Good control helps reduce the long-term risk of complications such as kidney, nerve and eye damage.
It combines pioglitazone, an insulin sensitiser that helps the body use its own insulin more effectively, and metformin, which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the glucose made by the liver. Take it with food as prescribed.
A balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, regular activity, keeping to a healthy weight and routine blood sugar monitoring support better control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any heart failure, bladder problems or liver disease before starting, and about other medicines you take. Report ankle swelling, sudden weight gain, breathlessness, or blood in the urine.
