WHAT ACTOS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Actos 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.
Actos 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 Actos is working 3 to
6 months after you start taking it.
Actos 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.
