Default Those taking Actos

Has anyone heard of taking more than 45mg's of actos a day? I was just wondering what is considered a high dose.

I take 30, but I've heard of people taking 45.

Hope it works out for you

Ccobrian, did you get pg on Actos? Just wondering. Congratulations!!!

I'm starting Actos tonight after finding out that my symptoms (bloodwork) had gotten worse on Met instead of better.

Have you or anyone else had an side effects from taking it?

TIA,

My doctor has said that the Actos does not cause any uncomfortable side effects like the Glucophage does, but it does make weight loss very difficult. I know first hand about this one. It has become very hard to lose weight while taking the Glucophage and the Actos.

I haven't had any side effects either. And I've lost 62lbs since last August, so I don't have any trouble loosing weight. Actos was an answer to my prayers. The only thing I have noticed is..I freeze to death! All the time! Do you guys have that problem?

Hugs
Julie
