Actoplus MET Treatment and Use

Actoplus MET is a mixture of the two antihyperglycemic agents pioglitazone hydrochloride and metformin hydrochloride that is produced by Takeda Pharmaceuticals to treat type-2 diabetes.

Pioglitazone, one of Actoplus MET’s main ingredients, is a thiazolidinedione medication. This drug gives your body greater insulin sensitivity and in turn assists in lowering overall blood sugar.

Metformin, the other active ingredient in Actoplus MET, does a few things:

• It decreases the amount of glucose that your liver produces.
• It decreases the amount of sugar that your body absorbs from what you eat.
• It increases the sensitivity of your insulin receptors.

Your doctor will take many things into consideration before coming up with your specific dose of Actoplus MET.
