Sintesi

Pioglitazone increases insulin sensitivity and enhances the glucose-lowering effect of insulin, which increases hypoglycemia risk. Both drugs can also cause fluid retention, so the combination raises the risk of edema and heart failure.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Insulin degludec and Pioglitazone can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Insulin degludec belongs to Endocrine; Pioglitazone belongs to Endocrine.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Additive glucose lowering from improved insulin sensitivity plus exogenous insulin; thiazolidinedione-related fluid retention is also additive with insulin.

Cosa fare
