Piozena Tablet 30 mg contains Pioglitazone, an oral antihyperglycemic agent from the thiazolidinedione class, primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pioglitazone works by enhancing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, allowing muscles, fat, and liver cells to use glucose more effectively. This reduces blood sugar levels, helps maintain long-term glycemic control, and targets a key underlying cause of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance.

Piozena Tablet 30 mg is suitable for patients whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, or lower-dose antidiabetic medications. The higher 30 mg strength provides an option for patients requiring moderate dose escalation to achieve target glycemic levels while maintaining convenient once-daily oral administration.

Indications

Piozena Tablet 30 mg is indicated for:

• 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

• Improving insulin sensitivity in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes

It is important to combine Piozena therapy with dietary modifications, exercise, and lifestyle management to maximize effectiveness.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual starting dose for type 2 diabetes is 15–30 mg once daily, taken with or without food.

• Dose adjustments may be made according to blood glucose response, up to a maximum of 45 mg daily.

• Regular monitoring of fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels is recommended to evaluate treatment efficacy.

• Liver function tests should be performed prior to starting therapy and periodically thereafter, as Pioglitazone is metabolized by the liver.

• Administer the tablet at the same time each day to maintain steady blood levels.
