Pioglitazone and alogliptin is a fixed-dose combination antidiabetic medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and either agent alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that improves insulin sensitivity, while alogliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases levels of incretin hormones. The combination is approved for use in several countries including those in the EU and US.
