Actos is the name under which the oral prescription drug pioglitazon is marketed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. The medication specifically targets insulin-sensitive genes, thereby helping abate insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics. When the body’s response to insulin is normalized, insulin becomes more effective at lowering blood sugar levels. Actos can be used alone in conjunction with diet and exercise for treating type 2 diabetes, or it can be used in combination with other medications such as sulfonylurea drugs, metformin or insulin. Actos is not effective in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Actos has also shown effectiveness in preventing pre-diabetes from progressing into full-blown diabetes mellitus.
