Indication:
Lobeglitazone is an antidiabetic drug in the thiazolidinedione class of drugs. As an agonist for both PPARĪ± and PPARĪ³, it works as an insulin sensitizer by binding to the PPAR receptors in fat cells and making the cells more responsive to insulin. It was approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (Korea) in 2013, and the postmarketing surveillance is on progress until 2019.
