WHAT PIOGLITAZONE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pioglitazone Teva 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 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 is working 3 to 6 months after you start taking it.
Pioglitazone Teva 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.
