WHAT GLUBRAVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Glubrava contains pioglitazone and metformin which are anti-diabetic
medicines, used to control
blood sugar level.
It is used in adults to treat type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes
mellitus when treatment with
metformin alone is not sufficient. This type 2 diabetes usually
develops in adulthood particularly as a
result of the person being overweight and where the body either does
not produce enough insulin (a
hormone that controls blood sugar levels), or cannot effectively use
the insulin it produces.
Glubrava helps control the level of sugar in your blood when you have
type 2 diabetes by helping your
body make better use of the insulin it produces. If 3 to 6 months
after starting Glubrava your sugar
control is not improved, the medicine should be discontinued.

DO NOT TAKE GLUBRAVA

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Glubrava is indicated as second line treatment of type 2 diabetes
mellitus adult patients, particularly
overweight patients, who are unable to achieve sufficient glycaemic
control at their maximally
tolerated dose of oral metformin alone.
After initiation of therapy with pioglitazone, patients should be
reviewed after 3 to 6 months to assess
adequacy of response to treatment (e.g. reduction in HbA
1c
). In patients who fail to show an adequate
response, pioglitazone should be discontinued. In light of potential
risks with prolonged therapy,
prescribers should confirm at subsequent routine reviews that the
benefit of pioglitazone is maintained
(see section 4.4).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_ _
Posology
_Adults with normal renal function (GFR ≥ 90 mL/min)_
_ _
The recommended dose of Glubrava is 30 mg/day pioglitazone plus 1,700
mg/day of metformin
hydrochloride (this dose is achievable with one tablet of Glubrava 15
mg/850 mg, taken twice a day).
Dose titration with pioglitazone (added to the optimal dose of
metformin) should be considered before
the patient is switched to Glubrava.
When clinically appropriate, direct change from metformin monotherapy
to Glubrava may be
considered.
_Special populations _
_Elderly _
As metformin is excreted via the kidney, and elderly patients have a
tendency to decreased renal
function, elderly patients taking Glubrava should have their renal
function monitored regularly (see
sections 4.3 and
