Pioglitazone

Pioglitazone is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones. This medication works by improving how the body uses insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels.

Simply put, pioglitazone performs three main functions:

• Lowering HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin): It reduces glucose production in the liver and stimulates cells to use existing blood sugar more effectively.
• Treating Insulin Sensitivity: It improves the body's response to insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
• Lowering Fats and Cholesterol: It may also help lower fat and cholesterol levels in the blood.
