Muraglitazar: A dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist

Muraglitazar is a new agent under investigation for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a novel class of drugs that target the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, both alpha and gamma subtypes. Available clinical data describe improvements in glycemic parameters similar to available thiazolidinediones. Safety data are limited, but in available abstracts, there are reports of moderately elevated rates of edema, weight gain, and hypoglycemia with muraglitazar compared with placebo or pioglitazone.

How to do it right

f you were shopping for new billing and scheduling software, you'd make sure that it worked before you bought it, right?
