Pioglar-G Tablet 10’s belongs to a group of medicines known as ‘antidiabetics’, used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. In type 2 diabetes the body doesn’t make enough insulin, or the insulin is not effectively used by the body. This is a type of diabetes that usually develops in adulthood. Insulin is a natural substance released by the body to break down the sugar of the body.

Pioglar-G Tablet 10’s is a combination of two drugs namely ‘Pioglitazone’ and ‘Glimepiride’. Pioglitazone belongs to the class of thiazolidinedione (TZD) also called ‘glitazones’ which helps control the level of sugar in your blood by helping your body to make better use of the insulin it produces. Glimepiride belongs to a class of medicines known as ‘sulfonylureas’, which works by causing the pancreas to produce more amount of insulin and helping the body to use insulin effectively. This drug also works best for individuals whose bodies naturally produce insulin.
