Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Troglitazone in combination with sulphonylurea improves glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled by sulphonylurea therapy alone. Troglitazone Study Group.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of troglitazone (a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist developed primarily for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM)), 100 or 200mg/day, in terms of glycaemic control, lipid profile and tolerability, when given in addition to existing sulphonylurea therapy. ⋯ Troglitazone 100 or 200 mg added to usual sulphonylurea therapy in patients with Type 2 DM is associated with a significant improvement in glycaemic control, without altering the adverse-event profile of the sulphonylurea.
