Uses of Zita-Pio Tablet

Benefits of Zita-Pio Tablet

Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Zita-Pio Tablet improves the body’s response to the hormone insulin, that is responsible for regulating blood glucose (sugar) levels in our body. The insulin helps to lower your blood glucose levels and prevents them from rising after taking meals. You should keep taking it for as long as it is prescribed.

Lowering blood glucose levels is an essential part of managing diabetes. If you can control the level you will reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Taking this medicine regularly along with proper diet and exercise will help you live a normal, healthy life.

  • Blood in urine

How to use Zita-Pio Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Zita-Pio Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Zita-Pio Tablet works

Zita-Pio Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Teneligliptin increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases the hormone (glucagon) that raises blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and post meal sugar levels. Pioglitazone works by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

Quick tips

  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or on delaying/skipping a meal. Check your blood sugar levels and have a snack/sugar source for immediate relief.
  • Be careful while driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.
  • It is important for you to take care of the skin on your lower limbs and to report any sores or signs of infection to your doctor.
  • Inform your doctor if you experience fatigue, muscle weakness, or muscle pain.
  • Lifestyle changes like no sugar, exercise, not smoking, and cutting down on the amount of alcohol you normally drink may help this medicine work better.

Frequently asked questions

It is advisable to avoid foods that are high in saturated and trans fats, instead consume fats from fish and nuts. Control your carbohydrate intake as this directly affects your blood sugar.
Yes, Zita-Pio Tablet tablet is safe when used as directed by the doctor. However, it may show some side effects. For best results, it should be used in the correct dose and at the same time each day.
No, do not stop taking Zita-Pio Tablet tablet without talking to your doctor first. Sudden discontinuation of this medicine may worsen your diabetes. Inform your doctor if the symptoms bother you or no considerable improvement is seen in your condition. The doctor may suggest some other medicine that could be more effective in treating your diabetes.
Yes, people with diabetes must include proteins along with other essential nutrients in their daily diet. Proteins are one of the major energy providers among all essential nutrients. Besides, being the building blocks of the human body, proteins break down into glucose to release energy. Unlike carbohydrates, the metabolism of proteins into glucose is much slower. Therefore, the release of energy usually takes a few hours after consumption. Thus, the spike in blood sugar levels might occur after a few hours when you are on a high-protein diet. It is often recommended to consume about 2-3 teaspoons of proteins in the evening snacks to avert the chances of hypoglycemia.
No, artificial sweeteners are not good for people with diabetes. They are composed of chemicals that can cause mild to severe side effects. Thus, it is better to limit or avoid their use as much as you can.
Yes, uncontrolled diabetes can cause kidney failure. In the long run, diabetes can affect the kidneys leading to a condition called diabetic nephropathy. This condition is a major cause of kidney failure in patients with diabetes. The best way to prevent damage to kidneys is by keeping diabetes in check, making dietary changes, monitoring sugar levels regularly, getting routine blood tests done, and taking prescribed medications on time.
Diabetes is a condition that causes changes in your blood glucose levels, which if left uncontrolled, can lead to serious health complications affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. However, with simple lifestyle changes, diet, and medications, one can manage their condition and lead a healthy life.
