Cost Comparison With Alternatives
| Medicine | Class | Approx Monthly Cost |

| Sitagliptin 50mg (1x daily) | DPP-4i | Rs. 1,800–2,500/month |
| Empagliflozin 10mg (1x daily) | SGLT-2i | Rs. 2,500–3,500/month |

Pioglitazone is cheaper than Sitagliptin and SGLT-2 inhibitors — which is why it is used in settings like Pakistan. However, the safety profile must be considered.
