Comparative Evaluation of Pioglitazone versus Voglibose on Lipid Profile in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Add On Metformin
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) is a heterogeneous group of disorders associated with both macrovascular and microvascular complications. Due to progressive nature of type 2 DM, dual drug therapy produces additive effects, allows the use of submaximal doses, and less side effects of individual agents. Therefore, the present study was designed to study the effect of pioglitazone in comparison to voglibose on Lipid profile control as an add-on drug in patients with Type 2 DM whose glycemic status was uncontrolled with metformin alone. The present study was open, randomized parallel group comparison of two active treatment groups over a period of six months. Sixty-seven patients of either sex in the age group of 30-60 years, suffering from type 2 DM, with FBG ≥ 126 mg/dl and PPBG ≥ 200 mg/dl as per ADA were selected at randomly. The effect of pioglitazone and voglibose were observed on various parameters of Lipid Profile (Total cholesterol, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL). At the end of 6 months it was observed that though both pioglitazone and voglibose reduced Lipid levels significantly but pioglitazone caused a significantly greater percentage change in Lipid levels as compared with voglibose. Few side effects were observed with voglibose and not with pioglitazone. Though pioglitazone and voglibose were equally effective in lowering Lipid levels yet pioglitazone showed better results in improving dyslipidemia, as compared to voglibose. Pioglitazone had minimal side effects as compared to voglibose.
