Default Actos or Metformin?

I was on Met for about 2 months roughly
And my weight loss was progressing well
I have since gone to another doctor
and now Im on Actos
Its about my third week
and after doing reading
Ive found out that Glitazones
can cause liver damage and even failure
and heart failure aswell
Which is better for the weight loss
Met or Actos?

Luv Mechxo

Dear Mech:

I LOVE Actos and have done lots of research on it. It can cause liver problems but so can Tylenol. I have my liver tested every year and so far no problems. It's been a miracle drug for me.

Good Luck to you!

PS: I have lost weight on Actos.
