Description
Duetact is a hypoglycemic product used for the treatment of the pancreatic diabetes type 2. It has two active ingredients Glimepiride and Pioglitazone. These ingredients lower the glucose level in the blood without a risk of hypoglycemia.
A pharmacological action of Duetact happens by means of the increased natural production of insulin. Entering the body, Duetact stimulates a secretion of insulin from the cells of the pancreatic gland. The production of insulin grows at the moment of the increase of the glucose level in the blood.
Unlike the drugs of sulfonylurea, Duetact causes a moderate release of insulin, so that its level does not exceed the rates and patients do not experience a sudden hypoglycemia which may be dangerous. The use of Duetact lowers a need in the application of the additional insulin.
A peculiarity of the active ingredient Pioglitazone is an increased sensitivity of the muscle and fatty tissue to the action of own insulin, so that the uptake of glucose is increased. And so, in combination, glimepiride and Pioglitazone provide more intensive pharmacological action.
Duetact is used as an addition to the low-carb diet for a long-term control of the glucose level. In case of the low efficiency of monotherapy with Duetact, it may be prescribed with Metformin or insulin, but according to the doctor’s recommendation, and in low doses.
