Piozena Tablet 15 mg contains Pioglitazone, an oral antihyperglycemic agent from the thiazolidinedione class, used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pioglitazone works by improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin, allowing more effective glucose utilization by muscle and fat cells. This action helps lower blood sugar levels and supports overall glycemic control in patients whose diabetes is not adequately managed with diet, exercise, or other antidiabetic medications.

Piozena Tablet 15 mg is designed for once-daily oral administration, making it a convenient option for long-term management of type 2 diabetes. By targeting insulin resistance—a key contributor to type 2 diabetes—it addresses one of the core mechanisms of the disease rather than merely controlling symptoms.

Indications

Piozena Tablet 15 mg is indicated for:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus as monotherapy in patients intolerant to metformin

• Combination therapy with other oral antidiabetic drugs such as metformin or sulfonylureas

• Adjunct therapy with insulin when oral agents alone are insufficient for glycemic control

• Improving insulin sensitivity in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes

It is important that Piozena is used alongside diet and exercise for optimal blood sugar control.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual starting dose is 15 mg once daily, taken with or without food.

• Dose adjustments may be made based on blood sugar response, up to a maximum of 45 mg daily.

• Regular monitoring of fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels is recommended to assess efficacy.

• Routine monitoring of liver function is advised before starting therapy and periodically thereafter, as Pioglitazone is metabolized in the liver.

• Consistent daily dosing at the same time each day improves treatment effectiveness.
