Buy Actos (Generic)

ACTOS is a once-a-day prescription pill for type 2 diabetes that along with healthy eating and physical activity helps your body more effectively use its own natural insulin or the insulin you take. When your necessary efforts at healthy eating and physical activity alone do not control your blood glucose levels, Actos can be prescribed by itself or in combination with certain other diabetes pills (sulfonylureas, metformin) or insulin to lower blood glucose.

Actos indication

Actos is prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes along with a healthy diabetic diet, regular exercise, weight control, smoking reduction, and careful monitoring of blood glucose.

Actos may be prescribed alone or in combination with metformin, a drug in a different class of anti-diabetic drugs, that also lowers blood glucose.

Actos is approved for treating type 2 diabetes in combination with insulin as well as another class of anti-diabetic drugs, the sulfonylureas.

How to take Actos

Actos is taken once daily in doses of 15, 30 or 45 mg. Take once daily at any time, with or without meals.

Actos side effects

As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with Actos hydrochloride. However, not everyone who takes Actos will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate the medicine well.

- Headache -- up to 9.1 percent;
- Muscle pain -- up to 5.4 percent;

Actos precaution

Do not stop using Actos or other diabetes medicine without first checking with your doctor.

Check with your doctor before adjusting the dose of your diabetes medicine or changing your diet.

If you are taking Actos with other diabetes medicine, you are at an increased risk of becoming hypoglycemic (low blood sugar).Discuss with your doctor or nurse how to handle hypoglycemic reactions.

Keep all doctor and laboratory appointments while you are using Actos. Laboratory and/or medical tests such as liver function tests and HBA1C blood levels may be done to monitor your progress or to check for side effects.

Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using Actos.

Before you start taking any new medicine, either prescription or over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist. For women taking birth control pills: Actos may decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pill. To prevent pregnancy, use an additional form of birth control.

For women: Actos may increase your chance of pregnancy by causing ovulation to resume in premenopausal women who have not been ovulating. If you plan on becoming pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Actos during pregnancy.
