Pioglitazone brand name?

What brand names are used for pioglitazone?

Pioglitazone is sold under several brand names depending on the country and manufacturer. Common U.S. brand names include Actos.

Is Actos the only pioglitazone brand?

No. Pioglitazone can also appear under other brand names and may be available as a generic (pioglitazone).

How do I check the brand name on my prescription?

Look at the pharmacy label for the “brand name” or “product” name, since the same active ingredient (pioglitazone) can be dispensed as a brand or a generic based on availability and insurance.

Do brand names affect how pioglitazone works?

The brand name does not change the active ingredient’s effect; what matters is the drug and dose (pioglitazone, and the strength listed on your label).
