PIOPLUS 2 TABLET 10 is taken orally.

PIOPLUS 2 TABLET 10 comprises three active ingredients that work together to manage blood sugar levels:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): It is a sulfonylurea class medication that stimulates your pancreas to secrete more insulin. By binding to receptors on pancreatic beta cells, it triggers insulin release and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): It is a thiazolidinedione that enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle and adipose tissue. It works as a selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), a nuclear receptor that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism.

• Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide class medicine limits glucose production in the liver and reduces its absorption from the intestine. It also improves insulin sensitivity by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which suppresses gluconeogenesis in the liver.

The combination of these three components helps manage blood glucose levels effectively in adults suffering from type 2 diabetes.

• Store PIOPLUS 2 TABLET 10 at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in a tightly closed container, safeguarding it from light and moisture.

• Place the product out of reach of children.

• Always use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Include fibre-rich foods in your diet, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. They can slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream and prevent spikes in blood glucose.

• Moderate exercises like brisk walking or cycling can improve your body's insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels more efficiently.
