Actos is prescribed to people with Type 2 diabetes. It is sold as a single-ingredient product under the brand name Actos and is also sold in combination with metformin (Actolus Met, Actoplus Met XR) and glimepiride (Duetact).

Actos is used to help regulated blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes. The FDA has announced that the drug is liked with bladder cancer. If you have taken the drug and are experiencing side effects contact an Actos lawyer today.

Actos 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.
