Used For:

Pioglitazone is an oral antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of drugs called thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and works by improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This helps lower blood sugar levels by enhancing the uptake of glucose into muscle and fat cells while reducing glucose production in the liver. Pioglitazone is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet, exercise, and other diabetes medications.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of pioglitazone include weight gain, fluid retention, and upper respiratory tract infections. Less common but serious side effects include an increased risk of heart failure, bladder cancer (with prolonged use), and fractures, particularly in women. It may also cause liver enzyme abnormalities, so regular liver function tests are recommended. Rare side effects include macular edema and allergic reactions such as rash or itching.

Precautions:

Pioglitazone should be used with caution in patients with heart failure, liver disease, or a history of bladder cancer. It is not recommended for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, liver function, and signs of fluid retention is essential. Avoid using pioglitazone if pregnant or breastfeeding without consulting a healthcare provider. The medication may interact with other drugs, including insulin and certain oral contraceptives, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
