Zolid Plus Tablet 15mg/850mg is a combination antidiabetic medicine containing Pioglitazone and Metformin. It is prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet, exercise, or a single medicine alone cannot control blood sugar effectively.

This dual-action combination helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision issues.
