Zita Piomet 1000mg Strip Of 10 Tablets

Zita Piomet tablet is a combination anti-diabetic medicine used to help control high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It contains Teneligliptin, Pioglitazone, and Metformin Hydrochloride. This combination works along with a healthy diet and regular exercise to help maintain better glucose control.

Zita Piomet tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes when lifestyle changes alone or single medicines do not provide adequate control of blood sugar levels. It may be prescribed as a second-line treatment to improve long-term sugar control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. Teneligliptin helps your body increase insulin release after meals and lowers excess glucose production.

Metformin reduces sugar production in the liver and improves how your body responds to insulin. Pioglitazone improves insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to use insulin more effectively. Together, these components help maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day.

You should take Zita Piomet tablet exactly as advised by your doctor, usually once daily with meals. Common side effects may include nausea, stomach upset, weight gain, swelling of the feet, headache, or low blood sugar (especially if taken with other anti-diabetic medicines). Always consult your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.
