Metpio 15/500 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient operates by decreasing the production of glucose in your liver, reducing the absorption of glucose in your intestines, and enhancing insulin sensitivity, increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): This ingredient is a thiazolidinedione that enhances insulin sensitivity in your body. It's a selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ). This means it activates PPAR-γ, which helps regulate genes that control glucose production, transport, and utilisation.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
