Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Pioglitazone reduces hepatic glucose output and increases peripheral glucose disposal by increasing insulin sensitivity thru activation of specific nuclear receptors (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, delays intestinal glucose absorption and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Pioglitazone: Rapidly absorbed from the GI tract. Bioavailability: >80%. Time to peak plasma concentration: W/in 2 hr. Metformin: Slowly and incompletely absorbed from the GI tract. Bioavailability: Approx 50-60%. Distribution: Pioglitazone: Plasma protein binding: >99%. Metformin: Crosses the placenta and enters breast milk. Metabolism: Pioglitazone: Extensively metabolised by CYP2C8 isoenzyme to both active and inactive metabolites. Metformin: Not metabolised in the liver. Excretion: Pioglitazone: Via urine and faeces. Plasma half-life: Up to 7 hr. Metformin: Via urine. Elimination half-life: Approx 2-6 hr.
