How it works
Zita Pio Met 500mg/15mg/20mg Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medications. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose absorbed from your food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. It also increases the body's response to insulin. Pioglitazone primarily acts on muscle, fat, and liver cells to enhance their response to insulin, making it easier for these cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream. It also reduces the production of glucose by the liver. Teneligliptin increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases the hormone (glucagon) that raises blood sugar levels.
