Hi,
Piopar-15 is known to cause weight gain due to retention of salt and water in the body. It is not advisable for you to continue with piopar.
I suggest you to take vildagliptin which is equally effective in controlling the blood sugar but without causing weight gain or other side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
