How Piol M 850 works
Piol M 850 is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Pioglitazone and metformin. Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione which works by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Metformin is a biguanide which decreases the production and absorption of sugar in your body and allows better use of existing insulin. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.

- Take it as per the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.
- Monitor your blood sugar level regularly while you are taking this medicine.
- It can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol or if you delay or miss a meal.
- Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemic symptoms such as cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremor, and anxiety.
- Your doctor may check your liver function regularly. Inform your doctor if you develop symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, or yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice).

Child Dose
Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal impairment
Obtain eGFR before starting metformin
eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m²: Contraindicated
eGFR 30-45 mL/min/1.73 m²: Not recommended to initiate treatment
Monitor eGFR at least annually or more often for those at risk for renal impairment (eg, elderly)
If eGFR falls below 45mL/min/1.73 m² while taking metformin, risks and benefits of continuing therapy should be evaluated
If eGFR falls below 30 mL/min/1.73 m²: while taking metformin, discontinue the drug
Contraindication
Renal disease or renal dysfunction (e.g. as suggested by serum creatinine levels >1.5 mg/dl in male, >1.4 mg/dl in females or abnormal creatinine clearance), which may also result from conditions such as cardiovascular collapse (shock), acute myocardial infarction and septicemia.Current or history of cardiac failure, active or history of bladder cancer,
Known hypersensitivity to Pioglitazone, Metformin or any other component of this combination.
Acute or chronic metabolic acidosis including diabetic ketoacidosis with or without coma.
Mode of Action
Pioglitazone is as a potent and highly selective agonist for the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma. Activation of these receptors promotes the production of gene products involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. It also improves insulin response to target cells witho increasing the pancreatic secretion of insulin.
Metformin decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity (increases peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation).
Precaution
Patient w/ oedema, anaemia. Premenopausal, anovulatory women. Pregnancy. Patient Counselling This drug may cause visual disturbance, if affected, do not drive or operate machinery. Monitoring Parameters Monitor HbA1c, serum glucose; signs and symptoms of oedema or heart failure, bladder cancer; liver enzymes, haematologic parameters, renal function; vit B12 and folate if anaemia is present. Routine ophth examination.
