DESCRIPTION :
Pigzon is a member of the newest class of antidiabetic agent called thiazolidinedions that
depend on the presence of inulin for its mechanism of action. Pioglitazone decreases insulin resistance in the periphery and in the liver resulting in increased insulin-dependent glucose disposal and decreased hepatic glucose output. It also improves abnormality in lipid metabolism by activating Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-gamma (PPAR-y).
