Q. How to use Windia?

Windia is an anti-diabetes drug used along with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. Pioglitazone acts as an insulin sensitizer and decreases the extent of insulin resistance in the body too.

Q. How does Windia cause oedema?

Windia increases the permeability of fluid in tiny blood vessels called capillaries.

Also, Pioglitazone causes increased sodium and water reabsorption from the kidney that contributes to the oedema.
