User Reviews for Actos oral

I have been told this medication was to protect my kidneys. Is this what it is for? I don't feel any different.

I have been taking Actos for 3 months and already having trouble with swollen feet,swollen face & fingers. Worried about bladder cancer advertised on tv. My doctor swears by this, but he's not the one whose gaining weight or swelling up. I got another dr. and she took me off of it immediately. Lost 20 right off the bat. Nothing but fluid. Taking Metformin,glipizide & furoside for fluid retention. She said that's all I needed.

About 4 yrs on Actos. Gained 32lbs. Muscle pain. Extreme edema of lower legs and ankles and feet. Edema became so bad I could no longer tolerate the itching caused by the edema stretching my skin. I have stopped Actos and now the edema is minor. Glucose readings have increased from average of 105 to 125.

actos kept my sugar in check about a year.my feet started to swell and the doctor took me off of it.

Fear it may have caused significant weight gain

Actos is horrible. For 8 years I felt like I was 180yrs old. Water retention, swelling of everything, gained almost 30 lbs.All I could do is lie on the couch- everything hurt. Then my Endo took me off it and Ive lost 25 lbs and have gotton my life back. Dont suffer. Talk to your doctor!

66 yr old male been using light dose of Actos for over 4 years for type 2 diabetes and my lab work has been 6.2 the past three years and I exercise and watch my carb intake.

I have had good results with Actos but, ia'm concerned about muscle weakness & liver cancer

I use actos daily to control my blood sugar. To this date it has worked just fine.

Aged 67 make takin for 8 years. Other than weight gain of 10-15 lbs which I can't lose. It works blood sugars are 90-127

After being on it for 2-1/2 years I had good A1C results but kept always having to urinate every 10 to 15 min. And for every pound I loss I gained 2 back I could not keep my weight down found out Actos keeps an average 10lbs on while your on it. Now I take it every two days as it helps keep blood sugars low. As long as I keep it in my system It seems to help.

Hard to keep wight down, from time swallowing feet, little shortage of breath, getting lazy.

just started on it....10 days ago. so far not much difference in blood sugar. my doctor said Actos is banned in europe

Been taking for 11 years and has been very effective

i have had no side effects while taking actos for the past 8 years. my sugar level has always been in range ( BELOW 7).

THIS IS A BAD DRUG I GOT MY MOM OFF OF IT THEN SHE HAD BAD SIDE AFFECTS FROM WITHDRAWAL FROM ACTOS DO NOT EVER GO ON THIS DRUG BAD DRUG

This product has become too expensive to continue to use.

Did not help in lowering sugar levels

taking Actos, my feet, legs, and hands are severely swollen and have gained 25 lbs since taking Actos. I've been on this medication for over 5 months.
