Tripath 5 mg/500 mg/15 mg Tablet SR

This medicine is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: Glibenclamide, Pioglitazone, and Metformin. These three drugs work by different mechanisms and collectively control the blood sugar level when no single or dual therapy could show any effect. Glibenclamide is a sulfonylurea which shows its activity by increasing the amount of insulin released from the pancreas and reducing the glucose level in the blood. Metformin is a biguanide, it reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestine and makes the body sensitive to insulin. Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that also increases insulin sensitivity.
