Lobeglitazone Sulfate 0.5mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Lobeglitazone Sulfate 0.5mg is an insulin-sensitising medicine for type 2 diabetes. It helps the body respond more effectively to its own insulin and may be used when improved glucose control is needed alongside diet, activity and other diabetes treatment.

How to use

Swallow the tablet once daily with water, with or without food, at a consistent time. Track glucose readings and changes in weight or ankle swelling during treatment.

How it works

Lobeglitazone activates PPAR-gamma receptors involved in glucose and fat metabolism. This increases insulin sensitivity in tissues such as muscle and fat.

Side effects

Weight gain, fluid retention, headache and upper respiratory symptoms may occur. Breathlessness, rapid weight gain or increasing leg swelling can indicate fluid overload.

Important information

Heart failure and liver disease are important before starting treatment. Fluid retention can worsen with insulin. Fracture risk and episodes of low glucose with insulin or sulfonylureas also need consideration.
