Pioglit MF 15 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): As a thiazolidinedione, this ingredient works by stimulating a cell receptor called PPAR-γ. This receptor controls the function of genes that help manage glucose production and usage. By doing so, pioglitazone reduces insulin resistance in the liver and other tissues, which helps decrease blood sugar levels without causing low blood sugar, or hypoglycaemia.

• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient is a biguanide that acts by suppressing the production of glucose in the liver. It also reduces the absorption of glucose in the intestines and improves insulin sensitivity. This action enhances the uptake and use of glucose in the peripheral tissues. Similar to pioglitazone, metformin also aids in lowering blood sugar levels without causing hypoglycaemia. It does not lead to increased insulin levels either.
