Zoliget (30/2mg) 14 Tablets

Pioglitazone 30mg is a drug administered to people with diabetes mellitus type 2. It functions by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Glimepiride 2mg is another medication that aids in lowering blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, which aid the body in producing more insulin. When taken together, Pioglitazone and Glimepiride complement each other by helping to lower blood sugar levels by both increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin and prompting the release of more insulin from the pancreas.
