WHAT PIOGLITAZONE TEVA PHARMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pioglitazone Teva Pharma contains pioglitazone. It is an anti-diabetic
medicine used to treat type 2
(non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus in adults, when metformin is
not suitable or has failed to
work adequately. This is the diabetes that usually develops in
adulthood.
Pioglitazone Teva Pharma helps control the level of sugar in your
blood when you have type 2
diabetes by helping your body make better use of the insulin it
produces. Your doctor will check
whether Pioglitazone Teva Pharma is working 3 to 6 months after you
start taking it.
Pioglitazone Teva Pharma may also be used in patients who are unable
to take metformin, and where
treatment with diet and exercise has failed to control blood sugar or
may be added to insulin therapy
when it fails to provide sufficient control of blood sugar.
