Pioglitazone: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Pioglitazone is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones (TZDs), which work by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping cells use glucose more effectively, and lowering blood sugar levels. Actos is often used with diet and exercise, and sometimes in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin or sulfonylurea
