Overview

Dual therapy of Glipizide + Metformin and the triple drug combination of Glimepiride + Metformin + Pioglitazone emerges as effective, safe, and affordable options for achieving glycemic control in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a latest review article concluded.

This article authored by Indian doctors has been published in the May 2024 edition of Cureus, a wing of the Springer Nature Journal.

The review emphasized that efficient T2DM management relies on cost-effective interventions to improve patient adherence.

Here are key highlights from this paper:

1) The combination of Glipizide and Metformin is effective in achieving optimal glycemic control, among T2DM patients with aberrant glycemic variables over three months despite metformin monotherapy

2) A triple-dose combination of Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone has shown significant effectiveness in glycemic control, with an HbA1c level decrease by 1.3%. The combination has been proven in the Indian population to provide good glycemic goals and lipid levels.
