When we talked about a single medication that treated multiple defects of diabetes, we used to be referring to 1 pill containing 2 different medications. Good examples of this were Glucovance, which combined glyburide and metformin, or ActoplusMet, which combined pioglitazone and metformin. There were a lot of possible combo products tried, but their use was always tempered by the ability of the fixed dose combinations to accommodate a large group of patients.
