Pioglitazone Tablets Ip 15 Mg (Pioglitazone) is a thiazolidinedione (TZD) that improves insulin sensitivity by binding to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). This action increases the body's responsiveness to insulin, leading to improved glucose uptake by cells and reduced blood glucose levels. It also may have beneficial effects on lipid metabolism.
