Introduction :

Pioglitazone 15mg tablet is used with proper diet and exercise to treat high blood sugar levels caused by type 2 diabetes. It may be used alone or with other medicines such as insulin, metformin, or sulfonylurea agents. Pioglitazone 15mg tablet works by helping your body use insulin better. This medicine does not help patients who have insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes. This medicine is available only with your doctors prescription.

Indication :
