GLUFIN-P2

Description

Glimepiride + Pioglitazone HCL + Metformin HCL Tablets:  Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone is a type of medication known as an anti-diabetic drug used in the management of type 2 diabetes, particularly in those whose blood glucose is not regulated with diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes is a long-term (chronic) condition that influences the way our body metabolizes glucose.

Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone consists of 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 sugar absorption in the intestines. Pioglitazone makes the body more responsive to insulin. Thus, Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone regulates blood sugar levels.

Medical Benefits:

• Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone effectively manages blood glucose levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes.
• It takes three complementary antidiabetic drugs and gives them comprehensive glycemic control when diet, exercise, or monotherapy is inadequate.
• Glimepiride does this by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin. Through this, insulin facilitates the removal of sugar from the blood.
• Metformin accomplishes this by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by cells in the liver and slowing the absorption of sugar from the intestines. Furthermore, it makes muscle cells more sensitive to insulin, allowing these cells to draw sugar out of the blood more efficiently.
• Pioglitazone accomplishes this by making liver, muscle, and fat cells more sensitive to insulin and allowing them to absorb glucose more efficiently from the blood.
• This drug guarantees sustained glycaemic control, lowering the dosage frequency. It also avoids excess sugar surges.

Uses:

• Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone to manage type 2 diabetes, particularly in patients whose blood glucose is not manageable by diet and exercise alone.
• It lowers high blood sugar levels by lowering liver cell sugar production, slowing down intestinal sugar absorption, and eliminating sugar from the bloodstream.
• By properly managing blood sugar levels, Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone decreases the risk of long-term complications like neuropathy and cardiovascular disease.

Instructions to Take:

• Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone may be taken with food to prevent stomach discomfort or as directed by the physician.
• Take the medication at the directions indicated by the physician to avoid safety issues.
