Product introduction
Triglimisave 1 Tablet SR is a three-way diabetes combination brought in when blood sugar stays high despite simpler treatment. It pairs Glimepiride, which nudges the pancreas to release more insulin, with Metformin and Pioglitazone, which both help the body use that insulin more effectively. This triple approach is generally reserved for patients whose sugar control has not improved on one or two medicines. Being a sustained-release tablet, it is built to release its dose gradually through the day.
Storage: Store below 25°C, protected from light and moisture.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to drink alcohol with Triglimisave 1 Tablet SR?
No. Alcohol can significantly lower blood sugar when combined with this medicine, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
Can this medicine cause vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, because it contains Metformin, long-term use can reduce vitamin B12 absorption, so periodic testing is worthwhile.
What are the warning signs of low blood sugar to watch for?
Nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, a fast heartbeat, or feeling shaky or anxious can all signal hypoglycemia and need prompt attention.
Why is this a three-drug combination instead of one medicine?
It is prescribed when blood sugar remains uncontrolled on a single or two-drug regimen, so combining three complementary mechanisms can achieve better control.
How should this tablet be stored at home?
Keep it in its original container, tightly closed, below 25°C and away from direct light and moisture.
