Description
Pilgat 15mg Tablets contain pioglitazone, an oral antidiabetic agent used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pioglitazone enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin, aiding in better blood sugar control.
Pioglitazone belongs to the thiazolidinedione (TZD) class of drugs. It works by improving insulin sensitivity in body tissues, which helps the body use insulin more effectively.
The tablets are taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. Dosage should be individualized based on the patient’s current regimen, effectiveness, and tolerability.
Common side effects include weight gain, edema (swelling due to fluid retention), headache, muscle pain, upper respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, sore throat, and hypoglycemia (especially when used with other antidiabetic agents).
Pioglitazone is contraindicated in patients with heart failure, liver disease, or a history of bladder cancer. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is recommended during treatment.
Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications being taken, as pioglitazone can interact with other drugs.
