WHAT PIOPOD IS USED FOR
PIOPOD is a tablet that is used
to improve the action of the
body's naturally produced
insulin.
PIOPOD is used in the
management of type 2 diabetes
not controlled by diet.
It helps to control the level of
glucose in your blood when
you have type 2 diabetes. This
is the 'adult onset' type of
diabetes and is controlled by
diet, certain oral medications
and occasionally insulin.
This medicine is also called
pioglitazone hydrochloride and
belongs to a group of
medicines called glitazones.
Glitazones decrease insulin
resistance.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS
MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED
FOR YOU.
Your doctor may have
prescribed it
for another reason.
PIOPOD can be used alone
(when diet and exercise is not
enough to treat your diabetes)
or together with other anti-
diabetic medicines.
This medicine is available only
with a doctor's prescription.
The use of PIOPOD has not
been studied in children.
