actos

1236243 tn?1277680851 I've been on Actos for 9 years and have no problems. Avandia is effectively off the market but ACTOS was not removed. The diabetic educator should know better that suggest someone get off a drug. Suggesting that he/she contact their M.D. was a good idea, but not necessarily required, unless the 'one man in the class' is having noticable adverse side-effects. Rumor monger statements and posts like this one are more scary than it actually should be.
Avatar n tn Is it best to take actos in the morning or evening? I am on metformin and glipized, as well. Is it best to take actos along with these medications to be more effective? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/712307'>Best time to take meds</a>.
489891 tn?1209058786 m also on actos plusmet 15/500 just once a day, with a insulin pump ( i take apidra in my pump)... byetta and actos plus met are very similar drugs doing the same thing.. the actos+met will make you gain weight very quickly. How many shots of byetta are you taking a day a long with the actos plus met? and what dose of actos are you taking and why...
Avatar f tn Hi all, My hubby was dx'ed 2 weeks ago w/ diabetes II. His regular doc put him on 30 mg Actos daily. At 1st hubby's blood sugar was a whopping 390- now it's down to 76-90 in the am and no more than 180 even after lots of sugary food. Obviously the blood sugar is well under control now. The problem is, my husband's vision is going crazy! I know that diabetes can cause vision problems when blood sugar is high, but the way it's happening doesn't make sense.

2053416 tn?1330411192 Due to a lot of weight gain. My doctor took me off actos and put me on glumetza. I also take glipizide. The gulmetza does not seem to be working for me. My sugars are in the 200 + - range. Is there another generation 1 or 2 diabetes medicine that I can take with the glipizide that will work as good as the actos did and not cost so much? I would like to get off the glumetza. I am really thinking about asking the doctor to put me back on insulin (novolin R). Thank you for your input.

Avatar f tn Estimada Sabrina.Te escribo desde Rosario, Argentina ya que somos compatriotas.Realmente tu pregunta es extremadamente difícil de contestar con mis conocimientos actuales, entonces voy a intentar orientarte. En el caso que te colocaran una válvula mecánica, necesitarás anticoagulación de por vida.Si tu expectativa es tener familia, entonces te aconsejo consultes primero a un HEMATÓLOGO (especialista en sangre) para que te oriente.
Avatar m tn I have diabetes ll. My doctor has given me Actos 30 mg. I have been hearing a lot about this drug and none of it's good, saying long term use causes bladder cancer. My last A1c was 6.1 although now due for another one. I'm not sure the risk involved with this drug is worth the benefits as my sugar is not out of control and my numbers are always under 175. Is Actos a safe drug to use??

Avatar m tn Hi Luis, a dilated heart is almost always due to being overworked or under stress unless there is heart muscle disease caused by excessive alcohol, drugs, congenital defect, etc. Treat the underlying cause such as stress and/or high blood pressure (the usual cause) can/will reduce the heart's workload and reverse the enlargement and increase the EF. The enlargement causes the heart to not effectively pump and that is evidenced by your 38%...
Avatar f tn I took Actos and within a week started having stomach and left side pains. I stopped actos and 75% of the symptoms are gone but I did see my doctor who ordered a CT scan which was normal. My labs have all been normal except I did show 21% atypical lymphs. Mono test was negative and so was H pylori blood test. I suspect the Actos started my problems. I felt bloated and full, pain in one specific area on left side, stomach stopped growling, etc.
Avatar m tn Hellow. My name is luis. i am 52 years old. I have lactose intolerance. i am taking lorazepam 2.5 mg and fluvoxamine 50 mg since 3 years ago.

Avatar f tn Por tu edad, sería difícil que tengas algo cardiológico. Para contestarte mejor, me gustaría saber más sobre tus antecedentes familiares y personales y si te has hecho electrocardiograma, ecocardiografía y te has tomado la presión arterial últimamente. Te agradecería me vuelvas a escribir contándome estos datos para poder orientarte mejor. Muchas gracias. Dr.

Avatar m tn 30am wake up. 2mg Glimepride at 5:00pm before dinner. Take glucose readings just before meds in am and pm. Currently avg 167 in the am and 114 in the pm. Active during the day but little activity during the evening and night. Anyone have information about switching the 30mg Actos + 4mg Glimepride to before dinner and the 2mg Glimepride at wake up in hopes of lowering the morning readings? Thank you.
Avatar n tn I currently take glimepiride 4mg twice daily and actos 15mg once daily. What is the sucess of these two meds. I continue to have high blood sugar levels.

Avatar f tn Bueno, debido a los antecedentes, sería bueno descartar que sea solo muscular y nada más, por eso le recomiendo visitar a su cardiólogo, la computadora podría ser la causa, pero mejor estar seguros y descartar cualquier otra cosa. Dr. Ameriso..
Avatar f tn Creo que ademàs del electro, debe realizarse un ECO DOPPLER CARDIACO,a fines de descartar cualquier anomalìa del corazon. Mi consejo es que consulte con un Cardiòlogo especialista en niños. Dr. Ameriso..
