Gliclazide + Pioglitazone + Metformin

Gliclazide + Pioglitazone + Metformin is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels. This triple-action formula helps control blood glucose in different ways for better and more stable results. Metformin reduces sugar production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin. Gliclazide helps the pancreas release more insulin, while Pioglitazone increases insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues.

Together, these medicines help maintain healthy blood sugar levels throughout the day and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, and heart issues. This combination is commonly prescribed for patients who need stronger glucose control.

Gliclazide + Pioglitazone + Metformin should be taken exactly as directed by a doctor, along with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. When used correctly, it is effective, well tolerated, and supports long-term diabetes management.
