A member asked:
I've noticed taking actos (pioglitazone) at the same time as metformin helps with some of the gi side effects. is this a true benefit or am i just imagining it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Imagination: Both can help lower your glucose and work well with each other, but doesn't alter GI side effects if you have them w/metformin.
