Avandia
Avandia (Rosiglitazone) is used to treat type 2 non-insulin-dependent diabetes (formerly adult-onset) in people whose diabetes cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. These drugs also work by increasing your body’s sensitivity to insulin, a substance your body produces to help control blood sugar levels. This medicine is not used to treat type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes formerly juvenile-onset.

| Product Information |
Directions on how to take
Avandia is usually taken once or twice daily with or without meals. Follow the Avandia directions on your Avandia prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or Avandia pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Avandia/rosiglitazone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of Avandia or take Avandia more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Warnings and Precautions
Before taking Avandia tell your doctor and pharmacist if you have ever taken troglitazone (Rezulin). Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had heart failure, liver disease including cirrhosis and hepatitis, high cholesterol, edema, fluid retention problems or a history of alcohol abuse. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
Possible side effects
Avandia usually does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when used alone, but it may cause low blood sugar when used with other medications for diabetes. If you have any of the following symptoms, eat or drink a food or beverage with sugar in it, such as hard candy or fruit juice, and call your doctor immediately. Symptoms of low blood sugar include: shakiness, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, confusion, blurred vision, headache, numbness, or tingling of the mouth, weakness, fatigue, pale color, sudden hunger, seizures, loss of consciousness, irregular menstrual cycle (in women), upset stomach, vomiting, excessive tiredness, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, shortness of breath, rapid weight gain, swollen ankles or feet. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
Storage
Keep Avandia in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store Avandia at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any Avandia medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your Avandia medication.
Additional Information
Be sure to follow all exercise and dietary recommendations made by your doctor or dietitian. Calorie reduction, weight loss, and exercise will help control your diabetes and will also make Avandia work better. It is important to eat a healthy diet.
