A generic prescription drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, Pioglitazone works by increasing the body’s sensitivity to the insulin present in the body. It is sold under the trade name Actos and is classified as a TZD (thiazolidinedione). It works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercises.

How Pioglitazone (Actos) drug work?

Actos is a type of oral antidiabetic medication that is classified as a thiazolidinedione (TZD) due to its insulin-sensing compounds. These compounds help the body to respond more effectively to its own insulin, resulting in a decrease in overall blood sugar levels. Additionally, Actos regulates the genes responsible for regulating sugar and fat metabolism in the body, thus reducing insulin resistance (when the cells in the body do not respond adequately to insulin), decreasing gluconeogenesis (sugar production in the liver) and resulting in lower blood sugar levels. As Actos does not directly induce the body to produce more insulin, it is unlikely to cause hypoglycemia, which is a frequent side effect of other oral antidiabetic drugs.
