DRUG INFO
Pioglitazone
Drug Name:
Pioglitazone
Indication: Treatment of Type II diabetes mellitus
Pharmacology: Pioglitazone, a member of the drug group known as the thiazolidinediones or "insulin sensitizers", is not chemically or functionally related to the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, the biguanides, or the sulfonylureas. Pioglitazone targets insulin resistance and, hence, is used alone or in combination with insulin, metformin, or asulfonylurea as an antidiabetic agent.
Mechanism Of Action: Pioglitazone acts as an agonist at peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR) in target tissues for insulin action such as adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver. Activation of PPAR-gamma receptors regulates the transcription of insulin-responsive genes involved in the control of glucose production, transport, and utilization. In this way, pioglitazone enhances tissue sensitivity to insulin.
Drug Category: Hypoglycemic Agents; Thazolidinediones; ATC:A10BG03
Brand Names/Synonyms: AD-4833; Actos; Actost; CHEMBANK3906; Pioglitazona [Inn-Spanish]; Pioglitazone; Pioglitazone Hydrochloride; Pioglitazone [Ban:Inn]; Pioglitazonum [Inn-Latin]
Dosage Forms: Oral tablets
Absorption: Following oral administration, in the fasting state, pioglitazone is first measurable in serum within 30 minutes, with peak concentrations observed within 2 hours. Food slightly delays the time to peak serum concentration to 3 to 4 hours, but does not alter the extent of absorption.
Interactions:
DrugBank: Interactions for Pioglitazone
Interactions for Pioglitazone:
In vivo drug-drug interaction studies have suggested that pioglitazone may be a weak inducer of CYP
450 isoform 3A4 substrate.
