T-Roll - ACTOS (pioglitazone hydrochloride) is an oral antidiabetic medication.
Pioglitazone [(±)-5-[[4-[2-(5-ethyl-2-pyridinyl) ethoxy] phenyl] methyl]-2,4-] thiazolidinedione monohydrochloride contains one asymmetric carbon, and the compound is synthesized and used as the racemic mixture. The two enantiomers of pioglitazone interconvert in vivo. No differences were found in the pharmacologic activity between the two enantiomers.
Snake Williams - Actos is used to treat blood sugar in adults that have type 2 diabetes but The Food and Drug Administration has said that the drug is linked with bladder cancer.
Benedict Jephcote - ACTOS is used once a day to increase insulin sensitivity amongst type 2 diabetics. It fits into the antidiabetic drug class known as thiazolidinediones.
Together with appropriate exercise and a healthy diet, ACTOS helps to lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes complications.
ACTOS product information states that FDA-reviewed data proves no difference in macrovascular events between 5,000 patients taking ACTOS and those patients not taking ACTOS.
It's worth noting that some studies have warned against ACTOS use: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2011/Jul/warning-issued-about-diabetes-drug-actos-97053129.html Certain patients, however, should not take ACTOS and will be advised by their doctor or healthcare professional not to do so.

Cecilia - Actos is a prescription medication that can be added to certain diabetes medications like insulin and metformin to help lower the sugar level. But according to http://www.rotlaw.com/actos that Actos is now associated with a long list of side effects. The most serious ones are heart disease and bladder cancer.
