Indiacratus it is learnt from sources that PIOGILITAZONE and ROSOGLITAZGONE tablets were banned and so much drugs were returned from medicalshops But after 3 months fresh medicines of PIOGILITAZONE and combination of this drug were found in market
Why this drug is banned and again released to market. If medicine is fault or anyother reason
Further this medicine now may be used ornot Now most of the Doctors not recomonded this . This is i confirmed from medical stores
HoweverI am used this medicines before 1 and 1/2 years back now I am used only glimepride 1 and metformin only
Indiacratus, pioglitazone was indeed banned in India in June but again the ban was lifted after 1 1/2 months.,but with a warning. Every thing a bit controversial. Urinery bladder carcinoma and heart failure two major side effects.
It is expected that this drug should not be over used and only the third line of treatment.
I don't think this warrants further discussion . Let us leave it to treating physician to decide.

Pataliputra now most of the Doctors not prescribed piogilitazone or its combination But in medical shops it is now also avilabale But what canwe do ?
So much tablets banned from usa and other countries but India not banned they sale more tablets of that brand . Similarily so much companies may unnecessaraily prepared combination medicines in cluding vit b and Vit c actually it was not use
So Good and inteligent Doctor prescribed only single medicine most of cases

Natraj, with all its related adverse effects, it is a an effective drug. Most importantly is very cost effective,given to the fact that other oral hypoglycemics and insulin are pretty costly. So, if you take into consideration the per capita income of majority,its importance becomes obvious .

O K what is your opinion about Vibligose ( Vozuca) tablets ? It may used also BS level after meals
patliputra in reply to
Yes, it is used to prevent pp bs spike . Should strictly be taken with meal.
About two/threeyears back my doctor told me to stop pioglar which is same as pioglitazone. That time I learnt that this was banned in Europe because of its adverse side effects on heart
