Product Details

Piozer Tablets 15 Mg contains pioglitazone HCl, a thiazolidinedione class antidiabetic agent designed to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Tablets 15 Mg works by decreasing insulin resistance in the body, which enhances insulin-dependent glucose disposal and lowers hepatic glucose output. Unlike insulin secretagogues, Tablets 15 Mg does not stimulate insulin secretion but rather helps improve the body’s response to insulin through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ).

Purposes

Piozer Tablets 15 Mg is indicated for use as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps manage blood sugar levels more effectively when used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications and other diabetes treatments.

3. Weight Gain: Be aware of potential dose-related weight gain with Tablets 15 Mg, whether used alone or with other hypoglycemic agents.
