Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Metformin works by reducing the glucose production in the liver, increases insulin (that is used to regulate the level of glucose in the body) sensitivity thereby improves glucose uptake and utilisation and delays glucose absorption in the intestine.
Gliclazide acts on the pancreas and increases the secretion of insulin which further lowers the blood sugar level.
Pioglitazone works by improving or making cells more sensitive to insulin (or reducing insulin resistance) and makes it easier for sugar (glucose) in the blood to get into the cells.
