Glitazones are used to treat diabetes type 2. They lower blood sugar levels by making the body more sensitive to insulin and by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
Glitazones (also called thiazolidinediones or TZDs) are used to treat Type 2 diabetes. They work by making your body's cells more sensitive to insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. These medications are available as oral tablets. One example is pioglitazone (Actos). You can discuss with your healthcare team whether these medications might be right for you.
Pioglitazone (Actos) is a moderately priced drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in generic and brand versions. Generic pioglitazone is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
ROSIGLITAZONE treats type 2 diabetes. It helps your body use insulin effectively, which decreases your blood sugar (glucose). Changes to diet and exercise are often combined with this medication.
Disclaimer: Popularity is based on total prescriptions for the brand and generic versions of each drug, regardless of the condition being treated. Some drugs are prescribed for multiple conditions.
