Authors' objectives:
The aim of this review was to evaluate the use of pioglitazone and rosiglitazone, in terms of both clinical and cost-effectiveness in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Authors' recommendations:
The clinical evidence available showed that glitazones reduce glycosylated haemoglobin by approximately 1%, and are more effective at higher doses than at lower doses. Glitazone treatment is associated with weight gain. No published data were available on the long-term effects of glitazone use. No prospective randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were found comparing pioglitazone to rosiglitazone, but the available evidence indicated that the two treatments had similar effects.
Authors' methods:
