Description
Glio-P Tablets 15mg/2mg – Pioglitazone & Glimepiride for Type 2 Diabetes
Glio-P Tablets 15mg/2mg by Macter International combine pioglitazone (15mg), a thiazolidinedione (TZD), and glimepiride (2mg), a sulfonylurea, for dual-action management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This combination is prescribed when diet, exercise, or single-drug therapy fail to achieve adequate glycemic control.
Pioglitazone reduces insulin resistance in the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue, improving the body's utilization of circulating insulin and lowering hepatic glucose output. Glimepiride stimulates functioning pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin and may also reduce hepatic glucose production. Together, they address both insulin resistance and insufficient insulin secretion — the two core defects of type 2 diabetes.
Glio-P is part of the broader diabetes medication range at Derma.pk. For SGLT2-based options see Empozin Tablets 10mg. For DPP-4 + metformin therapy see Vilcret Plus Tablets.

FAQs
What is Glio-P 15mg/2mg used for?
Prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes where diet, exercise, or single-drug therapy does not provide adequate blood sugar control.
How does Glio-P work?
Pioglitazone reduces insulin resistance (TZD mechanism) while glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas (sulfonylurea mechanism) — addressing both core defects of type 2 diabetes.
What is the hypoglycemia risk?
Glimepiride stimulates insulin release, which can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if meals are skipped. Always take with food.
