Description
Metformin Hydrochloride & Pioglitazone Tablets (SR)
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of advanced insulin-sensitizing fixed-dose combinations. We provide high-quality Metformin Hydrochloride (Sustained Release) & Pioglitazone Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Double-Sensitizer” formulation is a top export to diabetic care clinics, pharmacy chains, and chronic disease management boards in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as a powerful option for patients with significant insulin resistance.
Product Overview
This formulation combines Metformin Hydrochloride (Sustained Release) with Pioglitazone Hydrochloride (a Thiazolidinedione).
The “Insulin Resistance” Specialist:
- Targeting the Root Cause: Unlike sulfonylureas that squeeze the pancreas, this combination targets Insulin Resistance, the core defect in Type 2 Diabetes.
- Pioglitazone Action: Activates PPAR-gamma receptors in fat and muscle cells, drastically increasing their sensitivity to insulin and reducing fatty acid levels.
- Metformin Action: Reduces excess glucose production in the liver and improves glucose uptake in muscles.
- Lipid Profile Benefit: Pioglitazone is known to improve HDL (Good Cholesterol) and reduce Triglycerides, offering added cardiovascular protection.

- High Insulin Resistance: Particularly beneficial for obese patients with significant insulin resistance (Metabolic Syndrome).
- Sulfonylurea Failure: An effective option for patients who cannot tolerate Sulfonylureas or are at high risk of hypoglycemia (this combination rarely causes low blood sugar).
