Description
Glimepiride+ Pioglitazone HCL+ Metformin HCL Tablets: Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone is a category of drugs known as anti-diabetic drugs employed in the management of type 2 diabetes, particularly in patients whose blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled with diet and exercise alone. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-standing) disease that impacts the way our body handles glucose.
Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone includes Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. Glimepiride decreases blood sugar by making the pancreas release insulin. Metformin decreases the liver’s production of sugar and slows down the absorption of sugar from the intestines. Pioglitazone makes the body more sensitive to insulin. Thus, Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone regulates blood sugar levels.
Medical Benefits:
- Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone is effective for the management of blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes.
- It combines three synergistic antidiabetic drugs to yield complete glycemic control when diet, exercise, or monotherapy proves inadequate.
- Glimepiride acts by activating beta cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin. Therefore, insulin facilitates the elimination of sugar from the bloodstream.
- Metformin decreases the production of sugar in liver cells and also slows down the absorption of sugar from the intestines. It also increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin so that these cells can take out sugar more efficiently from the blood.
- Pioglitazone increases the sensitivity of fat, muscle, and liver cells to insulin and helps them to take out glucose from the blood more efficiently.
Uses:
- Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone for type 2 diabetes, particularly in those whose sugar level is not managed by diet and exercise.
- It reduces high blood sugar levels by decreasing the amount of sugar made by the liver cells, slowing down the absorption of sugar from the intestines, and taking sugar out of the bloodstream.
- Through its proper management of blood sugar levels, Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone lowers the risk of long-term consequences like neuropathy and cardiovascular disease.
