Piomed 30 Tablet 10 contains pioglitazone (30 mg) as its active ingredient:

• Activates PPAR gamma: Pioglitazone acts as a PPAR gamma agonist. PPAR gamma refers to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, a gene regulator found within cells. By activating this receptor, pioglitazone influences the function of genes associated with glucose production, transport and usage.

• Reduces insulin resistance: Pioglitazone activates the PPAR gamma receptor, decreasing insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral tissues. This means that these tissues are better able to respond to insulin.

• Modulates glucose dynamics: Pioglitazone also reduces glucose production in the liver while increasing insulin-dependent glucose disposal, helping to keep blood sugar levels under control.

• Keep Piomed 30 Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays between 20° to 25°C.

• Avoid exposure to excessive heat, light, or moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.

• Maintain a balanced, low-sugar diet: This includes avoiding sweetened beverages and processed foods high in sugar.

• Regular exercise: Incorporating physical activity into your routine can enhance your body's sensitivity to insulin, which aids in managing your blood sugar levels.
