My-Medicare supplies only authentic medicines from the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. For blood sugar control we supply Pioglitiazone the generic brand of Actos • Pioglitiazone is of exactly the same composition as the Actos brand but we are able to provide it for a much lower price. Please read all product information before proceeding.
Generic Actos (Pioglitiazone) is an antihyperglycemic agent. It helps the body respond better to insulin and it reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It can help control blood sugar levels. Actos is used, along with diet and exercise, in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type II diabetes). Actos may also be used with a sulfonylurea (e.g., Diabeta, Glucotrol, Micronase, others), metformin (Glucophage), or insulin when diet and exercise plus any one of these medicines alone do not result in adequate blood sugar control.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Generic?
Do not take Actos without first talking to your doctor if you have liver disease. • Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you · have heart failure or heart disease; · have edema (water retention or swelling); · have type 1 diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent diabetes); · have a serious infection, illness, or injury; or · need surgery. Treatment with Actos may cause resumption of fertility by allowing for the return of ovulation (production of eggs) in certain women with insulin resistance who were not ovulating before treatment with Actos. Therefore, pregnancy may occur and birth control may be a consideration. • Actos is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether Actos will be harmful to an unborn baby. Generally, insulin is the drug of choice for controlling diabetes during pregnancy. Do not take Actos without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. • It is not known whether Actos passes into breast milk.

Notify your doctor immediately if you develop nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, yellow skin or eyes, or dark urine. These symptoms may be early signs of liver problems. • Although Actos does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), hypoglycemia may result from skipped meals, excessive exercise, or alcohol consumption.
