WHAT PIOGLITAZONE IS
USED FOR
The name of your medicine is
APOTEX-Pioglitazone. It contains
the active ingredient, pioglitazone
hydrochloride.
Pioglitazone belongs to a group of
medicines called glitazones.
Glitazones decrease insulin
resistance.
It is used to improve the action of
insulin produced by your body and to
manage type 2 diabetes not
controlled by diet.
_HOW IT WORKS_
Pioglitazone helps to control the
level of glucose in your blood when
you have type 2 diabetes. This is the
'adult onset' type of diabetes and is
controlled by diet, certain oral
medications and occasionally insulin.
Pioglitazone can be used alone (when
diet and exercise is not enough to
treat your diabetes) or together with
other anti-diabetic medicines.
Ask your doctor if you have any
questions about why this medicine
has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed
pioglitazone for another reason.
This medicine is available only with
a doctor's prescription.
