Pioglitazone works by lowering insulin resistance in the muscle, fat tissue and liver. This helps the body use its own insulin to dispose of glucose and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It acts through the PPAR-gamma receptor and is not an insulin secretagogue, so it needs the body's own insulin to work.

Must not be used to treat type 1 diabetes. Must not be used in diabetic ketoacidosis. Must not be used in patients with established NYHA Class III or IV heart failure. Must not be used in patients with active bladder cancer or with known hypersensitivity to pioglitazone or any tablet component.
