ActoPlus Met (metformin / pioglitazone) "Very effective in controlling my blood sugars. I have had A1Cs of 6.0 and lower over the last 3 years taking 1500 mg/day. Recently, the company changed insurance, and I no longer have prescription coverage. At a cost of $350/month, I am looking for a generic version now."

ActoPlus Met (metformin / pioglitazone) "I have been taking ActoPlus Met 15/850 for Type 2 diabetes for approximately 3 years. My HbA1C has been steady between 6.0 and 6.3. If I'm having side effects, they are not noticeable. The price, however, must put a smile on the pharmaceutical company's CEO's face. It would be nice to see it go generic!"
