actoplus met xr is a brand-name medication. it is an extended release formulation that contains both pioglitazone and metformin. it is not available as a generic. however there are other combination medications for diabetes that are available in generic forms. these options include glyburide and metformin (glucovance) and glipizide and metformin (metaglip). talk with your health care provider. perhaps one of these medications may be an option for you to lower your blood sugar and reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
i’m taking actoplus met xr for diabetes. is there a generic version that is cheaper?
