  • Description

    Pioglitazone is a Thiazolidinedione antidiabetic medicine that decreases blood glucose by improving target cell response to insulin, without increasing pancreatic insulin secretion. Its action depends on the presence of insulin for activity. Pioglitazone is a strong and selective agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma). Activation of these effects results in the production of a number of gene products that are involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. The interaction between Pioglitazone and these receptors result in the reduction in glucose levels, free fatty acids and decrease in tumor necrosis factor alpha, which is a chemical mediator of inflammation. This medicine has an advantage over others that it does not usually cause hypoglycemia when given alone (not with other hypoglycemic agents).

After initiating use of pioglitazone, and after increase in dose, observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure (including excessive, rapid weight gain, dyspnea, and/or edema). If these signs and symptoms occur, manage the heart failure according to set standards of care. Discontinuation or reduction in dose of pioglitazone must be considered. Pioglitazone may cause ovulation (the release of an egg) in anovulatory (cause of infertility) premenopausal (woman's menstrual periods stop permanently) patients, and increases the risk of unintended pregnancy.
  • Food Interaction

    Maitake (a mushroom) may increase the hypoglycemic (glucose/sugar lowering) effect of Pioglitazone. Avoid the use of grapefruit with Pioglitazone as it will increase the level or effect of pioglitazone oral by altering drug metabolism.
