How Zita Plus-Pio Tablet Works:
Zita Plus-Pio Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications:
- Teneligliptin (20mg) ā This medication increases insulin release from the pancreas and reduces the levels of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. By controlling both insulin and glucagon, it helps lower blood sugar levels, particularly after meals.
- Pioglitazone (15mg) ā This drug works by improving the bodyās sensitivity to insulin, helping your cells respond more effectively to insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Together, these two medications help regulate both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, providing better overall control of diabetes.
Uses:
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
