Avatar n tn Meanwhile, he and his colleagues are investigating the biological mechanisms by which vitamin E or pioglitazone might reverse fatty liver disease. Cusi’s research group is testing pioglitazone against fatty liver in Hispanics, who seem prone to the disease, and in people with diabetes." http://tinyurl.
Avatar f tn Ben Weintraub, director of research, Wolters Kluwer inThought We expect that 2011 will be the year for novel oral anticoagulants, as the FDA gets over its hesitation in approving Xarelto (rivaroxaban) and we begin to get mature data for apixaban, edoxaban, and others. Physicians in Europe and the U.S. will begin to replace heparin with Xarelto and Pradaxa (dabigatran).
806995 tn?1265823176 agreed that the '08 metformin study did not make a strong case for adding metformin in all patients, however you might also want to look at a recent Khattab'10 study that looked at adding pioglitazone in geno 4s with HOMA1 gt 2. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19919569 They measured across-the-board improvement in SVR rates 60% vs 39% significant at 0.04. Geno 4s seem to be particularly susceptible to IR-related effects so this may not generalize.
Avatar f tn For women who are unresponsive to clomiphene,the oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin could be of little help, or pioglitazone, may bring resumption of regular cycles and ovulation. These agents reduce the hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia in PCOS. These are actually medically prescribed medicines for PCOS.As this syndrome is very common in women the case is often individualised and treatment option will be processed and prescribed.Fell free to talk to your Doc.

Avatar m tn I am obese (300lbs), diabetic (type 2) and require medication to control hypetension. I take the following medications – Metformin, Pioglitazone, Victoza (liraglutide), Amlodipine, Ramipril, Bendroflumethiazide, Asprin and Statin. I have a strange and embareasin problem. I hope someone out there may be able to offer some insight. I have always had sensitive nipples but in the last few days sensitivity in my left nipple has gone crazy.
Avatar n tn HI, It sounds like your wife will definitely need an additional medication--if not restarting the Pioglitazone, then an alternative. There are lots of different diabetes medications available that will help. Those glucose levels are indeed too high and should be addressed soon. Please ask your wife to contact her doctor as soon as possible(I suggest within the next 2 days a most) and discuss being started on another medication to bring her levels down.
Avatar f tn Evangelin posted about this youtube video. "Sugar , the bitter truth" It is a long video , but what I did not know before watching it is that High Fructose Corn Syrup metabolically is as bad as alcohol for the liver.

Avatar f tn Other newer insulin-sensitising medicines include pioglitazone. This is not currently recommended for PCOS. For certain people with PCOS, a specialist may advise that metformin be taken. However, further research is needed to confirm the role of these medicines in the treatment of PCOS.

Avatar n tn Weight loss through improved diet and increased physical activity has been the cornerstone therapy of NAFLD.

Avatar f tn I recommend you research for yourself on teh FDA website, the EMEA (european FDA) website as well as runnign a google on it. There are many un-nerving entries on teh internet about this drug. However, it is good to do your own research and then se this information to discuss with your cardiologist or EP. Best wishes.

1242273 tn?1269552203 The first year metforim helped my numbers and now I am on metformin 2X500mg twice a day and then added two 5mg twice a day of PMS-glyburide and now two weeks ago added APO-pioglitazone 45mg once a day. I watch what I eat cook from diabetic cook books try to get exercise which can be very painful due to fibromyalgia, but my numbers arent dropping. I'm mostly all the time running in the mid 20's.

Avatar n tn In Hong Kong, the risk fo your partner being infected with HIV is certainly lower than if she were an IV drug user. How much lower is hard to say. Thus again., your risk of infection is lower, and probably far lower than 1 in a million.
Avatar m tn Insulin-sensitizing agents, such as the two new thiazolidinediones, pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia), and metformin (Glucophage) Medications that lower lipids such as statin drugs and Lopid Drugs that improve blood flow, such as pentoxifylline (Trental) Presumably, weight loss through exercise and diet modification along with insulin-sensitizing agents will help reverse fatty infiltration of the liver.
