How long do I need to take Piopill? Can I stop the medicine for some time?

Continue taking Piopill as long as your doctor recommends to take it. Treatment for diabetes mellitus is long-term so you may have to take it life long. However, if you have to stop it then consult with your doctor who will suggest an alternative. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor as it may cause blood sugar levels to rise, which could be harmful to you.

What kind of medicine is Piopill? Is it like metformin?

Piopill belongs to thiazolidinediones class of anti-diabetic medicines. It helps control blood sugar levels by improving how your body uses a hormone called insulin. This is done by helping your cells become more sensitive to the insulin your body makes.

Can Piopill cause weight gain?

Piopill commonly causes weight gain which may be dose related. The reason for this weight gain could be fat accumulation. While, in heart failure patients it could be due to water retention in the body. Therefore, it is important to monitor weight in heart failure cases.

Does Piopill affect liver?

Yes, Piopill may cause an increase in liver enzymes and treatment with Piopill should be stopped if liver enzymes increase. Hence, levels of liver enzymes should be periodically checked while on treatment with Piopill. Piopill should not be prescribed to patients with liver disease.

Can Piopill cause heart failure?

Piopill can cause fluid retention which may aggravate or speed up heart failure. The doctor usually starts with the lowest available dose and increase the dose gradually while treating patients who have at least one risk factor for heart failure (previous heart attack, coronary artery disease, elderly). Heart failure is more common when Piopill is used with insulin.

Can you take Piopill and metformin together?

Yes, Piopill can be used with metformin where sufficient blood sugar management was not possible with metformin alone. This combination of medicines can be used in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight patients with poor blood sugar control.

What time of day should you take Piopill?

It is usually prescribed once daily and can be taken at any time of the day but preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. You should take Piopill exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Can Piopill cause bladder cancer?

Piopill may increase the risk of bladder cancer, though it is very rare. Immediately consult your doctor if you experience blood in your urine, pain when urinating or a sudden need to urinate, during treatment with Piopill. Piopill should not be used in patients with a prior history of bladder cancer or having bladder cancer.
