Glio-p Tablets 30mg/4mg – Pioglitazone & Glimepiride for Type 2 Diabetes
Description
Glio-P Tablets 30mg/4mg – Dual-Action Diabetes Therapy (Higher Glimepiride Dose)
Glio-P Tablets 30mg/4mg (Pioglitazone 30mg + Glimepiride 4mg) are prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring greater glycaemic control than diet, exercise, or single therapy can achieve. This is a prescription-only medicine — always use under the supervision of a qualified physician or endocrinologist.
- Pioglitazone (30mg) — reduces insulin resistance in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue, increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing hepatic glucose output.
- Glimepiride (4mg) — stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and enhances peripheral glucose disposal. The 4mg dose provides stronger insulin secretagogue effect compared to the 2mg variant.
The 4mg glimepiride strength is prescribed when the lower-dose Glio-P 30mg/2mg is insufficient for adequate blood sugar control. Your doctor will determine the appropriate strength based on your response to treatment and tolerability.
Key Information for Patients
- Prescription required — do not self-medicate or switch strengths without medical advice.
- Monitor blood glucose, HbA1c, and liver function during treatment.
- Take with meals to minimise the risk of hypoglycaemia.
- Higher glimepiride dose increases hypoglycaemia risk — inform your doctor of all concomitant medicines.

Usage & Benefits
- Stronger dual-action blood sugar control for patients needing higher glimepiride effect.

How To Use
1. Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor — do not switch strengths without advice.
2. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew.
3. Take with meals to reduce hypoglycaemia risk — higher glimepiride dose increases this risk.
4. Monitor blood glucose and HbA1c regularly; liver function and weight should also be checked.
5. Report signs of low blood sugar (shakiness, sweating, confusion) to your doctor promptly.
FAQs

It is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes needing stronger glycaemic control — when the 30mg/2mg variant or single-drug therapy is not sufficient.
