WHAT PAGLITAZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Paglitaz contains pioglitazone. It is an anti-diabetic medicine used
to treat type 2 (non-insulin
dependent) diabetes mellitus, when metformin is not suitable or has
failed to work adequately. This is
the diabetes that usually develops in adulthood.
Paglitaz 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 Paglitaz is working 3
to 6 months after you start taking it.
Paglitaz may be used on its own 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 other therapies (such as
metformin, sulphonylurea or insulin) which have failed to provide
sufficient control in blood sugar.
