Piosafe MF 15/500 Tablet (Pioglitazone 15mg / Metformin 500mg)

PIOSAFE MF 15MG TABLET is a combination drug consisting of Pioglitazone (Thiazolidinediones), and Metformin (Biguanides) which are called anti-diabetic drugs & used to lower blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Type 2 diabetes mellitus used to be known as ‘non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)’ or ‘maturity-onset diabetes’. Type 2 diabetes develops if the body does not produce enough insulin, or where the insulin that your body makes does not work as well as it should. It can also develop if the body produces too much glucagon. Insulin is a substance that helps to lower the level of sugar in your blood, especially after meals.

PIOSAFE MF 15MG TABLET is a blood sugar-lowering drug which contains a combination of Pioglitazone belonging to the class of thiazolidinediones & Metformin belonging to the class of biguanides. Pioglitazone decreases blood sugar and reverses the effects of Type II diabetes by activating switches (PPAR) inside cells to take up free glucose from blood and decrease its levels in blood. Metformin on the other hand decreases blood sugar by decreasing its formation and increasing its consumption by cells thereby decreasing high blood sugar levels. PIOSAFE MF 15MG TABLET is used in adults to treat type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus when treatment with metformin alone is not sufficient.

PIOSAFE MF 15MG TABLET should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. PIOSAFE MF 15MG TABLET should be taken at the same time of the day each time for best results.
