Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Actoplus Met from Canada?
90-day cost = 90 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Actoplus Met (pioglitazone and metformin) 15 mg/850 mg tablets for type 2 diabetes. FDA-approved generics are sold in the U.S.
Actoplus Met cost at a glance
- U.S. list price: $590.43 for a bottle of 60 brand Actoplus Met 15 mg/850 mg tablets, about $9.84 a tablet: $295.22 for 30 days or $885.65 for 90 days at 1 tablet a day. That's Takeda's wholesale price before discounts (Texas DSHS).
- Generic Actoplus Met is sold in the U.S., for much less. Many companies sell FDA-approved generic pioglitazone and metformin 15 mg/850 mg tablets, rated equivalent to Actoplus Met (FDA Orange Book). In the 2026 filing, Aurobindo and Macleods list 60 tablets at $75.00 (Texas DSHS).
- How we count: 1 tablet a day. The label sets the starting dose from what you already take and allows up to 3 tablets a day (45 mg/2,550 mg); one tablet once a day is its starting dose for people with mild heart failure. Many people take it twice a day, which doubles the cost. When the cheapest pack abroad doesn't add up to 90 days (for example, a 56-tablet pack), our 90-day price is worked out from that pack's price.
- From online pharmacies abroad: $285.61 for 90 days of brand Actoplus Met 15 mg/850 mg, shipping included (checked Nov 12, 2026). Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved.
- With Medicare: your cost depends on your Part D plan. In 2026, deductibles are capped at $615 and yearly out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 (Medicare.gov).

What is Actoplus Met used for?
Actoplus Met (pioglitazone and metformin) is a two-medicine diabetes tablet: pioglitazone (a thiazolidinedione) plus metformin. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- Along with diet and exercise, to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It isn't for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
The label sets the starting dose from what you already take, raises it slowly, and caps the day at 45 mg pioglitazone and 2,550 mg metformin; it's taken with meals. Actoplus Met has a boxed warning about heart failure and lactic acidosis, and isn't used when kidney function (eGFR) is below 30. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Actoplus Met from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Actoplus Met, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic pioglitazone and metformin before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. We found no Actoplus Met listing in Health Canada's database. In the European Union the same 15 mg/850 mg tablet is authorised as Competact, now held by Cheplapharm (European Medicines Agency, checked 2026-11-14).
