Hello,
If you are comparing the drug with efficacy, pioglitazone 15 is better then hulox met 500 (metformin 500). Both are used to treat Diabetes mellitus. Your treating physician may have considered the drug as per your age, body weight etc. so it's better to go with pioglitazone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nirav Nimavat, General & Family Physician
