WHAT PIOGLITAZONE ACTAVIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pioglitazone Actavis 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.
Pioglitazone Actavis 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 Actavis is working 3 to 6 months after you start taking
it.
Pioglitazone Actavis 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 of blood
sugar.
