Piopod GM 2 Tablet SR is a combination medicine designed to manage type two diabetes mellitus in adults. It works effectively alongside diet and exercise to maintain blood sugar levels within a normal range. By improving insulin sensitivity and supporting insulin secretion, Piopod GM 2 Tablet SR helps prevent complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, including kidney damage, nerve disorders, and vision problems. It is particularly useful when single or dual therapy is insufficient for optimal glucose control, offering a multi-mechanism approach to managing blood sugar.

Key Ingredients

Glimepiride – a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from the pancreas

Metformin Hydrochloride – a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity

Pioglitazone – a thiazolidinedione that enhances insulin action in the body

How It Works
Piopod GM 2 Tablet SR combines three antidiabetic agents:
• Glimepiride increases insulin release from the pancreas
• Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows intestinal glucose absorption, and increases insulin sensitivity
• Pioglitazone further enhances insulin sensitivity to improve glucose uptake by body tissues
Together, these actions provide comprehensive blood sugar control when monotherapy or dual therapy is insufficient.

• Alcohol consumption, as it may worsen hypoglycemia or lactic acidosis
• Skipping meals, which can increase the risk of low blood sugar
• Taking additional anti-diabetic medicines without consulting your doctor

• Driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or weak
• Using the medicine if you have severe kidney or liver disease without supervision
