Actos
diabetes treatment
Actos is used to control high blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. Management of type 2 diabetes requires nutritional counseling, weight reduction as needed, and exercise. When diet and exercise are not enough, ACTOS may be used alone or in combination with sulfonylureas, metformin, or insulin to improve blood sugar control.

Actos UsesActos is used to control high blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. This form of the illness usually stems from the body's inability to make good use of insulin, the natural hormone that helps to transfer sugar out of the blood and into the cells, where it's converted to energy. Actos works by improving the body's response to its natural supply of insulin, rather than increasing its insulin output. Actos also reduces the production of unneeded sugar in the liver. Actos (and the similar drug Avandia) can be used alone or in combination with insulin injections or other oral diabetes medications such as DiaBeta, Micronase, Glucotrol, or Glucophage.
Actos How To TakeActos should be taken once a day with or without meals.
Actos Side EffectsActos side effects can't be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, let your doctor know as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Actos.
More common side effects may include:
Headache, hypoglycemia, muscle aches, respiratory tract infection, sinus inflammation, sore throat, swelling, tooth disorder
Less common side effects may include:
Anemia, shortness of breath, weight gain
Actos Medical PrecautionsIn very rare cases, a drug similar to Actos has proven toxic to the liver. The manufacturer therefore recommends that your doctor check your liver function before you begin Actos, then every 2 months for the first year of therapy and periodically thereafter. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, or dark urine, report them to your doctor immediately. You will probably have to stop using Actos.
Actos Drug InteractionsIt is possible that Actos may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone. To guard against an unwanted pregnancy, be sure to use some other form of contraception.
If Actos is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Actos with the following:
Ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Midazolam (Versed)
Actos Medical NotesActos is an aid to, not a substitute for, good diet and exercise. Failure to follow a sound diet and exercise plan can lead to serious complications, such as dangerously high or low blood sugar levels. Remember, too, that Actos is not an oral form of insulin, and cannot be used in place of insulin.
The effects of Actos during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. He may switch you to insulin during your pregnancy, since normal blood sugar levels are very important for the developing baby. It is not known whether Actos appears in breast milk. For safety's sake, do not use this drug while breastfeeding.
Actos Missed DosagesIf you miss a dose take Actos as soon as you remember. If you miss a dose on one day, skip it and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double your dose the following day.
Actos StorageStore at room temperature in a tight container, away from moisture and humidity.
