Pioglitazone FAQ

About Pioglitazone?

one of my friends is recently diagnosed to be diabetic.He receives treatment in the form of pioglitazone and glucophage.His blood sugar became controlled in 2 months of treatment.His only complaint is dizziness not accompanied with any other symptom or sign of hypoglycaemia.This complaint is not related to periods of fasting or to meals.What is the best management of this complaint taking into consideration that this patient doesn't suffer from any other disease after full systematic review. Many thanks

If a normal healthy person takes pioglitazone pills just for the effect of channeling visceral fat into subcutaneous fat, would that be risky in regards to increasing risk to that healthy person to develop diabetes?

A friend of mine (who is in prison) said that he recently tested positive for THC (marijuana) in his system. He claims that he hasn't had anything, and wanted me to check if it could be a combination of the medications he's taking. I don't really believe him, but decided to check anyway. Here's a list of what he is taking. I'm gonna check more on webmd, but wanted to see if anyone knew off-hand. Thanks (forgive me for any misspellings) Prilosec Thlorpheniranle Opiate (steriod shot) Acetaminophen Neurontin Glypin Metformin Hydrochlorathezide (HPCZ) Pioglitazone Enalapil Doxiazosin Indomethacin Methocarbimol Thyroid Opiate was grouped w/steroid shot because he told me that the Opiate was a steriod shot. He was rushing, so maybe he didn't know for sure...he's an older gentleman (age 52).
