Actos also lowers blood glucose levels by reducing the production and secretion of glucose in the blood of the liver. In addition, Actos may lead to changes in blood concentrations of lipids (fats) in the blood. In particular, it reduces triglycerides and raises "good" (HDL) cholesterol.

Actos is anti-diabetic thiazolidinediones. It lowers blood sugar by making the body's cells more sensitive to insulin.
