How it works
New Triglucored Forte Tablet is a combination medicine of Metformin, Glibenclamide and Pioglitazone. Metformin works by improving the body’s response to insulin and decreasing glucose (sugar) production in the liver. This helps in lowering the increased blood sugar levels. Glibenclamide works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas. Pioglitazone activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, resulting in the increased transcription of insulin-responsive genes involved in the control of glucose production, transport, and utilization. This ultimately results in increased tissue sensitivity to insulin and decreased insulin resistance.
