Pioglitazone may cause or worsen heart failure in people with some heart conditions. It may also increase the chances of developing too low blood sugar, especially if a person is also using insulin. In elderly patients, it may increase the chances of bone fractures, particularly in women who’ve gone through menopause. There are a couple of other risks, but those are some of the main ones.
