Product details
GLIDAPA PIO is a combination oral medication specially formulated to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two powerful antidiabetic agents, dapagliflozin and pioglitazone, to effectively control blood sugar levels. This medication is prescribed to patients when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. By addressing blood glucose regulation through different mechanisms, GLIDAPA PIO helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications and supports overall metabolic health. Key Ingredients Dapagliflozin (10mg): A sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar by increasing the excretion of glucose through urine. Pioglitazone (15mg): A thiazolidinedione that improves insulin sensitivity by acting on fat, muscle, and liver cells, facilitating better glucose uptake and utilization. Key Benefits Helps maintain stable blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Combines two complementary mechanisms to enhance blood sugar control. Supports weight management due to dapagliflozin’s glucose excretion effect. May improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance. Reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as cardiovascular problems when combined with lifestyle changes. Convenient once-daily tablet formulation. How Does It Work? Dapagliflozin blocks SGLT2 proteins in the kidneys, preventing glucose reabsorption and promoting its elimination through urine, which lowers blood glucose. Pioglitazone acts on insulin-responsive tissues, enhancing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This dual action helps reduce both insulin resistance and excess blood glucose, providing better overall glycemic control. By targeting different pathways, GLIDAPA PIO offers a synergistic effect to manage type 2 diabetes more effectively. Directions for Use Take GLIDAPA PIO exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Usually taken once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Do not skip doses or stop the medication without consulting your doctor. Maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise as advised alongside the medication. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Side Effects Some patients may experience side effects while taking GLIDAPA PIO, including: Urinary tract infections or increased urination due to dapagliflozin. Weight gain or swelling caused by pioglitazone. Risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with other antidiabetic drugs. Possible dizziness or fatigue. Rarely, heart failure or bladder cancer risk (associated with pioglitazone). If you notice symptoms like excessive thirst, sudden weight gain, swelling, shortness of breath, or any allergic reactions, seek medical advice immediately.
