Unirimp 15mg/850mg Tablet

Unirimp 15mg/850mg Tablet, made by U Nison, is a two-in-one diabetes medicine. Its active ingredient is Pioglitazone + Metformin 15mg/850mg, and it is used for type 2 diabetes. Pack size: 14s tablet.

Uses of Unirimp 15mg/850mg Tablet

Unirimp 15mg/850mg Tablet is used in adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled on metformin alone. Having both medicines in one tablet reduces the number of pills to take. Better blood sugar control lowers the long-term risk of damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart, and it works best together with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How Unirimp 15mg/850mg Tablet works

Pioglitazone makes muscle, fat and liver cells more sensitive to the body’s own insulin, so they take up more sugar from the blood. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar released by the liver and also helps the body use insulin more effectively. Their actions complement each other.

Possible side effects

When starting Unirimp 15mg/850mg Tablet, some people experience:

• Nausea, diarrhoea or stomach upset
• Weight gain
• Swelling of the ankles
• Metallic taste
• Headache

Get urgent medical help for breathlessness or rapid weight gain, which may signal heart failure, or for vomiting, stomach pain, muscle cramps and deep fast breathing, which can be signs of lactic acidosis. Report any blood in the urine or pain when passing urine.

Precautions and warnings

• It must not be used by people who have or have had heart failure, or by those with a history of bladder cancer.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, and let the hospital know you take it before surgery or an X-ray scan with contrast dye, as metformin may need to be paused.
• Avoid drinking a lot of alcohol, as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis.
• Women taking pioglitazone have a higher risk of bone fractures, and the combination is not used in pregnancy, breastfeeding or type 1 diabetes.
• Take it with meals and keep up regular blood sugar checks and eye examinations.
