Used For:

This combination of Metformin HCl and Pioglitazone HCl is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin, while Pioglitazone enhances insulin sensitivity by acting on muscle and fat cells, making them more responsive to insulin. Together, they help control blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and cardiovascular disease.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset (from Metformin) or weight gain, swelling, and fluid retention (from Pioglitazone). Rare but serious side effects include lactic acidosis (a medical emergency linked to Metformin) and heart failure or bladder cancer (linked to prolonged Pioglitazone use). Other possible side effects include upper respiratory tract infections, muscle pain, or low blood sugar (when used with other antidiabetics).

Precautions:

Patients with liver or kidney issues, heart failure, or a history of bladder cancer should use this combination cautiously. Regular monitoring of kidney function and liver enzymes is recommended during treatment. The medication should not be used in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Avoid excessive alcohol intake as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, as this combination may interact with other drugs, including diuretics, corticosteroids, and certain heart medications
