Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10

Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10 is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, alongside diet and exercise, when a single medicine is not enough, combining two medicines to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar.

Uses of Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10 are:

• Type 2 Diabetes: Helps control blood sugar when a single medicine is not enough.
• Insulin Sensitivity: Combines two medicines that improve the body's response to insulin.
• Complication Risk: Better control helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Here's how you should take Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.

• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor.

Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients that work together to manage high blood sugar levels:

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): Pioglitazone primarily targets PPAR-gamma receptors located in muscle and fat cells. By activating these receptors, it influences certain genes that enhance insulin sensitivity, promote better glucose utilisation in peripheral tissues like muscles, and reduce glucose production by the liver.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin works on several fronts to control blood glucose levels. It decreases glucose production by the liver, enhances the uptake of glucose by muscles, and reduces the absorption of glucose from the gut. Notably, Metformin does not stimulate insulin production, thereby lowering the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar levels).

• Store Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place, ideally at a temperature below 30°C.

• Keep it out of reach of children

• Balanced diet rich in fibre and low in sugar to support the management of type 2 diabetes. This can help control blood sugar levels, along with taking Piosteris M 500 Tablet 10.

• Regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling, can improve your body's insulin sensitivity and help in managing diabetes more effectively. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
