Overview

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

Directions for Use

Take Actos 30mg Tablet once daily at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Continue taking it even if you feel well, since blood sugar control needs to be maintained continuously, and do not change your dose without your doctor’s advice.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of Actos 30mg Tablet is 15-30mg once daily, which your doctor may increase up to a maximum of 45mg daily depending on your blood sugar response. Pioglitazone is often used together with other antidiabetic medicines, and your doctor will individualise your dose and monitoring schedule.
