This FDC, known as Zita-PioMet, contains Teneligliptin (20 mg) + Pioglitazone (15 mg) + Metformin (500mg/1000mg) in a sustained release (SR) formulation.

On the launch, the Business Head of the company said that "Type 2 diabetes patients in India often face issues of beta cell dysfunction along with insulin resistance.

As a country leader in diabetes therapy, we are pleased to introduce Zita®PioMet, India's first triple fixed dose combination for high insulin resistance type 2 diabetes. The novel, effective, and reasonably priced medication will aid in the improvement of glycemic control in adult patients with high HbA1c levels.
