PIOZAR MF FORTE TABLET 10'S

How PIOZAR MF FORTE TABLET 10'S Works

• PIOZAR MF FORTE Tablet 10's is a combination medication designed to manage type 2 diabetes effectively. It combines Pioglitazone and Metformin, two powerful antidiabetic agents that work through complementary mechanisms to control blood sugar levels.
• Pioglitazone belongs to a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones (TZDs). It primarily works by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose (sugar) enter cells to be used for energy. In type 2 diabetes, cells become resistant to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Pioglitazone combats this resistance by activating a receptor called PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) found in fat cells, muscle cells, and liver cells. Activation of PPARγ leads to increased glucose uptake and utilization in these tissues, effectively lowering blood sugar levels. Additionally, Pioglitazone reduces glucose production in the liver.
• Metformin, on the other hand, belongs to the biguanide class of drugs. Its primary action is to decrease glucose production in the liver. The liver is a major source of glucose in the body, and in individuals with type 2 diabetes, the liver often produces excessive amounts of glucose, especially during fasting. Metformin suppresses this excessive glucose production by inhibiting gluconeogenesis, the process by which the liver converts non-carbohydrate sources into glucose. Furthermore, Metformin improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues (muscle and fat) and reduces glucose absorption from the intestine.
• The synergistic effect of Pioglitazone and Metformin in PIOZAR MF FORTE Tablet 10's provides comprehensive glycemic control. Pioglitazone enhances insulin sensitivity, allowing cells to utilize glucose more efficiently, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity peripherally. Together, they address multiple key mechanisms contributing to hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes.
• By improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production, PIOZAR MF FORTE Tablet 10's helps to lower both fasting and postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels. Regular use of this medication, in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, can significantly improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision problems. It's important to take PIOZAR MF FORTE Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor and to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to ensure optimal management of your diabetes.

Carry a source of fast-acting sugar (glucose tablets, juice, or hard candy) with you at all times and know how to use it in case of a hypoglycemic episode. Also, inform your family and friends about recognizing these symptoms and how to help.
