Glio-p Tablets 30mg/2mg – Pioglitazone & Glimepiride for Type 2 Diabetes
Description
Glio-P Tablets 30mg/2mg – Dual-Action Diabetes Combination Therapy
Glio-P Tablets 30mg/2mg (Pioglitazone 30mg + Glimepiride 2mg) are prescribed by doctors for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, or single-agent therapy is not enough to control blood sugar. This is a prescription-only medicine — always use under medical supervision.
- Pioglitazone (30mg) — a thiazolidinedione that reduces insulin resistance in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic glucose output.
- Glimepiride (2mg) — a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and supports peripheral glucose uptake.
The 2mg glimepiride strength is typically used in patients who need a lower sulfonylurea dose — for example, elderly patients, those with renal concerns, or patients starting combination therapy. The Glio-P 30mg/4mg variant is prescribed when a higher glimepiride dose is required for adequate control.

FAQs
