Frequently asked Questions about Pioglar Mf

Question over 4 years ago

How does Pioglar MF increase lactic acidosis?

Dr. Manoj Meena MBBS , General Physician

Lactic acidosis associated with Pioglar MF treatment is a rare but fatal adverse effect. Lactic acidosis appears to result from biguanide interference causing an increase in production and decrease in clearance of lactate leading to higher cellular lactate levels. A decrease in pyruvate carboxylase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme in the formation of glucose from lactate, can also decrease hepatic metabolism of lactate. leading to increasing lactic acidosis. Signs and symptoms of Pioglar MF induced lactic acidosis are nonspecific and include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, altered level of consciousness, hyperpnoea, abdominal pain, and thirst.
