1.
WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
This medicine is intended for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus
(non-insulin dependent) in adults
with blood sugar levels that cannot be controlled with metformin
treatment alone.
Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood particularly as a result
of the person being
overweight and where the body either does not produce enough insulin
(a hormone that
controls blood sugar levels), or cannot effectively use the insulin it
produces. Your doctor will
check whether Competact is working properly 3 to 6 months after you
start taking it.
Competact helps control the level of sugar in your blood by helping
your body make better use
of the insulin it produces.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Pioglitazone: a thiazolidinedione.
Metformin: a biguanide.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Competact is indicated as second line treatment of type 2 diabetes
mellitus adult patients,
particularly overweight patients, who are unable to achieve sufficient
glycaemic control at their
maximally tolerated dose of oral metformin alone.
After initiation of therapy with pioglitazone, patients should be
reviewed after 3 to 6 months to
assess adequacy of response to treatment (e.g. reduction in HbA
1c
). In patients who fail to show
an adequate response, pioglitazone should be discontinued. In light of
potential risks with
prolonged therapy, prescribers should confirm at subsequent routine
reviews that the benefit of
pioglitazone is maintained (see section 4.4).

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_ _
Posology
_Adults with normal renal function (GFR ≥ 90 mL/min) _
The
recommended
dose
of
Competact
is
30 mg/day
pioglitazone
plus
1,700 mg/day
of
metformin hydrochloride (this dose is achievable with one tablet of
Competact 15 mg/850 mg,
taken twice a day).
Dose titration with pioglitazone (added to the optimal dose of
metformin) should be considered
before the patient is switched to Competact.
2
When clinically appropriate, direct change from metformin monotherapy
to Competact may be
considered.
_Special populations _
_ _
_Elderly _
As metformin is excreted via the kidney, and elderly patients have a
tendency to decreased renal
function, elderly patients taking Competact should have t
