Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Actos 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 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price of the same strength (30 mg); rows for other strengths show no saving. 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. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Actos coupons and savings programs

eDrugSearch does not offer its own Actos coupons. eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. If you have Medicare, these two programs can help with the cost of brand Actos or generic pioglitazone:
- Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)

What is Actos used for?
Actos (pioglitazone) is a thiazolidinedione, or TZD. It helps the body respond better to its own insulin. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- Along with diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Actos comes as 15 mg, 30 mg and 45 mg tablets taken once a day, with or without food. It is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Boxed warning: the label carries the FDA's strongest warning. Medicines like Actos can cause or worsen congestive heart failure in some people, so the label says to watch for signs such as fast weight gain, shortness of breath or swelling. The label also says Actos may raise the risk of bladder cancer. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Actos from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Actos, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic pioglitazone 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. Brand Actos is no longer sold in Canada: Health Canada lists all three Actos strengths as cancelled since March 30, 2018 (Health Canada).

Frequently asked questions
How much is Actos without insurance?
The U.S. list price of brand Actos is $388.57 for 30 tablets of 15 mg, $593.80 for 30 mg and $644.09 for 45 mg, in the Texas 2026 drug price filing. Licensed pharmacies abroad charged from $96.31 for 90 days of brand Actos 30 mg in our latest check (Nov 11, 2026). FDA-approved generic pioglitazone is also sold in the U.S.
Is there a generic for Actos?
Yes. The generic is pioglitazone. The FDA has approved generic pioglitazone tablets from many companies, rated equivalent to Actos, and they have been sold in the U.S. for more than a decade. Ask your pharmacist whether a generic can fill your prescription.
How much does pioglitazone cost?
In the Texas 2026 drug price filing, Aurobindo lists 30 tablets of generic pioglitazone at $4.00 (15 mg), $5.50 (30 mg) and $5.75 (45 mg). These are list prices (the maker's wholesale price before discounts). What a pharmacy charges can differ, so ask your pharmacist.
Is there an Actos coupon or savings card?
eDrugSearch doesn't offer coupons of its own. FDA-approved generic pioglitazone is sold in the U.S.; ask your pharmacist for its cash price. If you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help can lower what you pay for prescriptions.

Can I buy brand Actos from Canada?
Brand Actos isn't sold in Canada anymore. Health Canada lists all three Actos strengths as cancelled since March 30, 2018, so pioglitazone from a Canadian pharmacy is a generic. The price table shows where each pack comes from.
Does Actos have a boxed warning?
Yes. The label warns that thiazolidinediones, including Actos, cause or worsen congestive heart failure in some patients, and says to watch closely for signs of heart failure after starting Actos and after dose increases. Talk with your prescriber about this risk.
