DESCRIPTION:

Lita M 15mg/500mg Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication that combines two powerful agents: Pioglitazone (15mg) and Metformin (500mg). It is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults by improving blood sugar control when lifestyle changes and single-drug therapy are not enough.

Uses of Lita M Tablet

  • Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Improves blood sugar levels in patients not controlled with Metformin alone

How Lita M Tablet Works

Lita M works through the synergistic actions of two medicines:

  • Metformin: Lowers glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity.
  • Pioglitazone: Increases the body’s response to insulin, allowing better glucose utilization by cells.

Together, they help achieve better glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients.

  • May delay progression of diabetes-related complications
  • Suitable for patients not adequately managed with a single therapy
