CompositionOzomet PG1 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate blood sugar control. It is a combination medicine containing glimepiride (a sulphonylurea), pioglitazone (a thiazolidinedione) and metformin (a biguanide).
The three medicines lower blood sugar through different actions. Take it with your main meal in the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor, and keep to regular mealtimes to reduce the risk of low blood sugar.
Eat meals at regular times, control portions of rice, roti and sweets, stay physically active and always carry glucose tablets or sugar.
Before starting, tell your doctor if you have heart failure, liver disease or a history of bladder cancer, as the pioglitazone component needs particular caution, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Watch for swelling of the ankles or feet, and learn the signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shakiness or confusion. Follow the prescribed dose, frequency and duration, report persistent or serious side effects, and do not stop the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
