Pioz was banned earlier, but now the Govt. has probably lifted the ban. Please check and get adequate advice from the Doctor before you switch to branded Pioz, you have been consuming earlier.
You cannot get a better advice above what Gangadharan Nair's comments.I would further request you to go on water therapy,sweating exercises according to your ability and avoidance of unnecessary worries.
Vidagliptin,Stibagliptin are better drugs available. with added metformin you may take on advice of your doctor.
