Renpio 15 Tablet contains pioglitazone (15 mg), which works through the following mechanisms:
· Agonist of PPAR-γ: Pioglitazone activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), involved in regulating genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism.
· Increases Insulin Sensitivity: By activating PPAR-γ receptors, pioglitazone enhances the sensitivity of insulin-dependent tissues like adipose tissue, skeletal muscles, and the liver, resulting in more efficient glucose utilisation and reduced hepatic glucose production.
· Blood Lipids Management: Pioglitazone manages blood lipids, reducing triglyceride levels and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often referred to as 'good' cholesterol.
