What is Actos used for?
Actos, marketed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, is the brand name of pioglitazone hydrochloride; a drug prescribed to patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. People diagnosed with type 2 diabetes have an insulin deficiency as a result of an impaired production of insulin. Most individuals with type 2 diabetes also suffer from an insulin resistance, wherein their body does not use the insulin that is already produced by the body in an efficient manner. Actos is a member of the new class of diabetes drugs known as thiazolidinediones. Much like alternative diabetes medications, Actos assists those who suffer from diabetes by helping to regulate blood sugar. This class of drugs helps to regulate blood sugar by reducing insulin resistance, which in turn helps to lower the body's level of blood glucose.
