Buy Generic Actos

Actos, whose active ingredient is pioglitacone, is an anti-diabetic drug of the thiazolidinedione type, which is used along with a program of exercise and diet to help to control the high blood sugar levels of type 2 diabetics.  Actos works by helping the body to restore its correct response to insulin and so lowering blood sugar levels.  If high blood sugar levels are controlled then problems such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs and sexual function problems are avoided.  If diabetes is properly controlled then the risk of heart attacks and strokes are lessened.  Actos can either be used alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs such as metformin, sulfonylureas and insulin.

Actos should be used with caution for patients over 75, those with heart disease or low hemoglobin levels in their blood or who have macular edema, swelling at the back of the eye.

Actos should not be used by people who have a history of heart failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, decreased liver function, those on kidney dialysis, or pregnant or breastfeeding women.  Actos tablets contain lactose so those who have lactose intolerance shouldn't use it.  It is also not recommended for children under 18.

Side Effects

Individual patients can be affected in different ways by medications.  Some people do not suffer any of the side effects associated with Actos and many suffer none at all.  Some of the possible side effects caused by Actos include visual disturbances, weight gain, decreased sense of touch, upper airway infections, anemia, pain in the joints, headaches, fluid retention, blood in the urine, impotence, dizziness, flatulence, insomnia, low blood glucose levels, glucose or protein in the urine and sweating.

Using Actos

Your doctor will work out the amount of Actos you need to control your blood sugar levels. You will probably have to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and will be shown how to do this.  You may be started on a low dose of Actos which will be increase depending on how you respond to this treatment.

Follow the instructions on the pharmacy label on your medication as it will tell you how much Actos you should take and how you should take it.  Do not change the dosage unless you are told to by your doctor.

You can drink alcohol whilst you are taking Actos as there is no evidence that alcohol reacts with it in your body.  Actos does not interact with any foods but you should be following a strict diet and an exercise program to help control your blood sugar and you should stick to this.
