Zipio G1 Capsule belongs to a group of medicines known as 'antidiabetics', used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. In type 2 diabetes the body doesn't make enough insulin, or the insulin is not effectively used by the body. This is a type of diabetes that usually develops in adulthood. Insulin is a natural substance released by the body to break down the sugar of the body.
Zipio G1 Capsule is a combination of two drugs namely 'Pioglitazone' and 'Glimepiride'. Pioglitazone belongs to the class of thiazolidinedione (TZD) also called 'glitazones' which helps control the level of sugar in your blood by helping your body to make better use of the insulin it produces. Glimepiride belongs to a class of medicines known as 'sulfonylureas', which works by causing the pancreas to produce more amount of insulin and helping the body to use insulin effectively. This drug also works best for individuals whose bodies naturally produce insulin.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as upper respiratory tract infection, headache, sinusitis, myalgia (muscle pain) and pharyngitis. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these undesirable effects persistently.

Zipio G1 Capsule is an antidiabetic drug used along with a proper diet and exercise to control high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Zipio G1 Capsule works by helping to restore your body's appropriate response to insulin, thereby lowering your blood sugar. Zipio G1 Capsule may be used on its own in patients who are unable to take metformin and where treatment with diet and exercise has failed to control blood sugar. As Zipio G1 Capsule helps to control the high blood sugar levels in the body, so it prevents the risk of blindness, nerve problems, kidney damage and other serious medical issues like a heart attack.
Zipio G1 Capsule should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting your doctor as sugar level keeps changing.

Zipio G1 Capsule is used to lower the blood sugar however if your sugar level gets reduced to a very low level and you start experiencing symptoms including hunger, sweating, dizziness, headache and feeling shaky. To treat such a condition, it is suggested to keep a fast-acting source of sugar in your bag that includes hard candy, raisins, and non-diet soda. Fluid retention (edema) may occur and can lead to congestive heart failure so, combination use with insulin and use in heart failure may increase the risk in patients taking Zipio G1 Capsule . You should not take Zipio G1 Capsule if you have kidney disease, as measured by a blood test. Zipio G1 Capsule , when used with or without insulin, tends to extremely lower the blood sugar level.
