CompositionPioplus 1 Tablet is a medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps keep blood sugar levels steady, which lowers the risk of long-term diabetes problems affecting the kidneys, nerves, and heart. It contains glimepiride, metformin and pioglitazone.
It is a combination of oral antidiabetic medicines that work in different ways to improve blood sugar control, including improving the body's response to insulin and reducing the glucose made by the liver. Take it as directed by your doctor, usually with food. Continue taking it regularly even when you feel well, and do not stop it without medical advice.
Diet and lifestyle play an important part in managing diabetes alongside this medicine. These include eating regular balanced meals, limiting sugary foods and drinks, staying physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, heart problems, or other medicines you take. Because it can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), learn to recognise the warning signs and keep a fast-acting sugar source with you. Tell your doctor if you notice unusual weight gain or swelling.
