Default Re: Actos

Do LFTs before treatment and periodically (rare reports of liver problems). Glitazones reduce peripheral insulin resistance, so are less likely than sulphonylureas to cause hypoglycaemia, but would probably keep an eye on blood glucose levels to start with.

You might want to check your SrCr value: 1.8mg/dL = 18mg/l (>700 mcg/l is classed as severe in BNF).
