ACTOS (Pioglitazone)

ACTOS (Pioglitazone) is a medication used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by making the body's cells more sensitive to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar. By improving this sensitivity, ACTOS helps lower blood sugar levels and can improve overall blood sugar control. It’s often part of a treatment plan that includes diet and exercise. While effective, it may have side effects and is usually prescribed by a healthcare provider to manage diabetes effectively.
