How Gliclazide + Pioglitazone + Metformin works
This medicine contains three active ingredients that work together: Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin; Pioglitazone makes the body's cells more sensitive to insulin (reduces insulin resistance); and Metformin decreases the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improves glucose uptake by muscles. This triple action helps control blood sugar levels effectively.
