Actos is also known by the generic name Pioglitazone, and can be prescribed to help restore blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Pioglitazone allows your body to respond naturally to insulin helping to stabilize your blood sugar. Actos can be used alongside other diabetes medications if and when they are prescribed to you.

Dosage is typically decided based on your initial diagnosis and how you respond to the treatment. A normal dose is taken orally once a day with or without food. Regular use of this medication is required to achieve the best results. It can take between two and three months to see the full effect. In that time keep track of your blood sugar levels to ensure your treatment is going as planned.

Speak to your doctor about known allergies before taking Actos as some ingredients can induce an allergic reaction. Disclose any prior medical conditions relating to liver disease, edema, anemia, and heart disease before starting a treatment with Actos.
