Generic tablet that improves your cells’ insulin sensitivity.

Pioglitazone is a generic one-a-day tablet treatment for type-2 diabetes with a unique mode of action.
If you think Pioglitazone could be suitable for you, talk to us about your health. We’ll send you a proven treatment alongside tailored advice when you order Pioglitazone online.
Pioglitazone is a generic tablet treatment for type-2 diabetes. It belongs to the ‘thiazolidinedione’ class of medicines, of which it is the only type that’s currently licensed for use in the UK. These treatments work by helping your body to use the insulin it produces better.
Insulin is a hormone that aids the lowering of blood glucose by storing the sugar that you eat in your cells for you to use as energy. Type-2 diabetes is a condition that causes hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), usually because your pancreas doesn’t produce as much insulin as it should, or because your cells aren’t able to properly use the insulin that you do produce.
Sometimes type-2 diabetes can be well controlled by only making lifestyle adjustments, such as a healthy diet and exercise, but sometimes you need to take treatments like Pioglitazone to help you maintain low blood sugar levels.
Pioglitazone works by increasing your cell’s sensitivity to insulin. It does this by stimulating specific receptors in your cells responsible for interacting with insulin. By doing this, your cells become better able to transport and use the glucose in your blood, which can lower your blood sugar levels.
Pioglitazone doesn't increase your insulin production. Because of this, Pioglitazone won’t be as effective for you if your pancreas’ insulin secretion is low, and you might need to take an additional treatment alongside Pioglitazone to increase your insulin levels.
Pioglitazone is available in three different doses: 15mg, 30mg and 45mg. The typical starting dose is for you to take one 15mg tablet a day, which will then be increased if needed up to a maximum of 45mg once a day.
Our clinician will recommend the most suitable dose for you once you’ve talked to us about your health.
