What is Pioglitazone Hydrochloride (Generic Actos) and what are its uses ?
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) helps to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) helps your body to use insulin more efficiently and helps to lower high blood sugar.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) received FDA approval on July 16, 1999.
How does Pioglitazone Hydrochloride (Generic Actos) Works (Mechanism) ?
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) contains the active ingredient pioglitazone hydrochloride, which is an antidiabetic medicine used to treat people with type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). In this type of diabetes the cells of the body are resistant to the low levels of insulin circulating in the blood. Insulin would normally make the cells remove glucose from the blood.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) helps to lower blood glucose levels by increasing the sensitivity of liver, fat and muscle cells, to insulin. This enables the cells to remove glucose from the blood more effectively.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) also reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and preserves the functioning of the cells in the pancreas (beta cells) that produce insulin. The overall effect of Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) is therefore to help the body control blood sugar levels and prevent them becoming too high.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) is used to treat people with type 2 diabetes, particularly overweight people, whose blood sugar is not sufficiently controlled by diet and exercise alone, and who cannot take metformin.
Pioglitazone hydrochloride (generic Actos) is also used for people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not controlled by the maximum doses of either metformin, or another type of antidiabetic medicine known as a sulphonylurea, for example gliclazide.
