Actos prescription: Pioglitazone is used for the treatment of type II diabetes along with a healthy diabetic diet, regular exercise, weight control, smoking reduction, and careful monitoring of blood glucose. Pioglitazone may be used alone or in combination with metformin, a drug in a different class of anti-diabetic drugs, that also lowers blood glucose. Since it requires naturally-secreted insulin to be effective, pioglitazone is not recommended in type I diabetes where the amount of insulin is very low or absent. Nevertheless, pioglitazone is approved for treating type II diabetes in combination with insulin as well as another class of anti-diabetic drugs, the sulfonylureas. Pioglitazone is a drug that reduces the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is in a class of anti-diabetic drugs called 'thiazolidinediones' that are used in the treatment of type II diabetes. The other member in this class is rosiglitazone (Avandia). (Another member of this class, troglitazone or Rezulin, was removed from the market because of liver toxicity.) Patients with type II diabetes cannot make enough insulin, and the cells of their body do not respond normally to the reduced amounts of insulin that are present. (Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates cells to remove glucose from the blood.) Pioglitazone often is referred to as an 'insulin sensitizer' because it attaches to the insulin receptors on cells throughout the body and causes the cells to become more sensitive (more responsive) to insulin. As a result, more glucose is removed from the blood. At least some insulin must be produced by the pancreas in order for pioglitazone to work.
Available strengths: 30 mg / 90 tab; 15 mg / 90 tab; 30 mg / 60 tab; 15 mg / 60 tab; 30 mg / 30 tab; 15 mg / 30 tab;
This belongs to the group of medicines known as antidiabetics.
Actos is used on its own or alongside metformin or other antidiabetic medicine to treat Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus.
Insulin is made naturally in the pancreas. It regulates the amount of sugar in the blood. If the body does not make enough insulin to meet its needs or does not properly use the insulin it makes, this results in the condition called diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes).
Actos works by helping your body make better use of the insulin it produces.
Actos is available in tablet form.
It is also sometimes known as: Actos. You may notice the use of any of these names on the packaging of your medicine.
