Cetapin P (metformin, pioglitazone) is a type 2 diabetic treatment consisting of two active ingredients. Patients who need more than a single medication to manage blood glucose often buy Cetapin P, as it is more convenient to take in a single tablet than taking each medication individually. Cetapin P can be used along with other antidiabetic medications, such as insulin.

The two ingredients in this product are:

• metformin, a medication which helps reduce the production of, and inhibit absorption of, glucose in the body. It is a very common medication used by type 2 diabetics around the globe.
• pioglitazone, which increases the body's sensitivity to insulin, whether the insulin occurs naturally or is taken as medication. This helps the body utilize blood glucose more efficiently, as well as reduce overall blood glucose.

Together these two medications provide a significant means to manage blood sugar. As with most antidiabetic medications, results are even better when lifestyle changes are also incorporated into treatment. In fact, lifestyle changes are, in the majority of cases, the only way to eventually reduce and eliminate dependency on medications.

Patients given a prescription to buy Cetapin P should be careful to avoid confusing it with a similarly-named medication, Cetapin V. Cetapin V also contains metformin, but instead of pioglitazone it contains voglibose. Voglibose inhibits the breakdown of foods into glucose, reducing glucose spikes after meals.

Dosage & Administration

Cetapin P comes in tablets. The dosage and frequency of administration will vary depending on other medications being taken and other medical conditions.

For those individuals who take only Cetapin P:

• Patients are typically started on 15 mg/500 mg pioglitazone/metformin twice per day.
• Dosage may be gradually increased if needed, and if the medication is well tolerated.
• On higher doses, dose frequency may change to three times per day.
• Dosage should never exceed 45 mg pioglitazone or 2550 mg metformin per day.
• Each dose should be taken with food.

Those taking other medications or suffering other medical conditions should consult a doctor about dosage. Patients already taking metformin and pioglitazone separately are advised to buy Cetapin P in dose amounts that match as closely as possible each dose of individual medication.

All patients who buy Cetapin P should be aware that hypoglycemia---low blood sugar---is a risk. Patients new to the medication should check blood glucose frequently; likewise following dose changes or unusual events, such as missing meals.

Lifestyle Changes

Most diabetic patients are not thrilled with the prospect of lifestyle changes, but they are vitally important---particularly if a patient ever wishes to reduce or eliminate the use of medications to manage blood glucose.

A doctor can recommend lifestyle changes suited to each individual. There is also an abundance of information available on the internet. We encourage all patients to make---and maintain---applicable lifestyle changes to the greatest extent possible.

Note that this does not mean making radical changes overnight. Changes can be made slowly, allowing the patient to adjust to them before advancing them again. While they certainly can be unpleasant at first, remember they are important for long-term health and independence---and may well increase the duration of life itself.
