Benefits for pioglitazone in prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications

Abstract

The article reflects the main ideas about the effects of the thiazolidinediones group drug pioglitazone, its place in the modern view on the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The possibilities of its combination with alogliptin, the inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 group drug, as well as the advantages of using a fixed combination of the drug, are highlighted. These groups of drugs have different points of application of action, which enhances the hypoglycemic effect without the risk of hypoglycemia.
