Why is Avandia prescribed?

Avandia (Rosiglitazone) is an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [NIDDM] or adult-onset diabetes).

What does it do?

Avandia helps your body use insulin more efficiently, which helps lower your blood sugar (glucose). This medication is often used alongside changes to diet and exercise.

How should I take it?

Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor, typically once or twice a day. The dosage depends on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed one.

What are the special precautions before taking Avandia?

Before taking this medication, it's important for your doctor to know if you have any of the following conditions:

• Diabetic ketoacidosis
• Heart disease or heart failure
• Kidney or liver disease
• Macular edema or polycystic ovary syndrome
• Swelling in your arms, legs, or feet
• If you are taking insulin or nitrates for chest pain
• If you've had an unusual or allergic reaction to rosiglitazone, other medications, foods, dyes, or preservatives
• If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

Make sure to learn how to monitor your blood sugar levels and recognize symptoms of both low and high blood sugar and inform your healthcare team if you notice high blood sugar, as you may need to adjust your medication dosage, especially if you’re ill or exercising more than usual.

This medication can increase your risk of heart problems. Seek immediate medical help if you experience chest pain, tightness, or pain radiating to your jaw or arm, along with shortness of breath.

For women who are premenopausal and have irregular periods, this medication may induce ovulation and increase the likelihood of pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant, stop taking the medication and contact your doctor right away.

Does it have any side effects?
It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Serious side effects may include:
• Chest, jaw, or left arm pain
• Changes in your menstrual cycle

In rare cases, Rosiglitazone has been linked to severe liver disease. If you notice symptoms like persistent nausea or vomiting, yellowing of your skin or eyes, or dark urine, loss of appetite, or stomach pain, inform your doctor without delay.

This list does not cover all possible side effects. If you experience any other unusual symptoms, reach out to your doctor or pharmacist.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

• Gemfibrozil
• Nitrates such as amyl nitrite, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and nitroglycerin

What action should I take in case of overdose?
If someone has overdosed and is experiencing severe symptoms, such as fainting or difficulty breathing, seek emergency medical assistance immediately.
Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

This medication should only be used during pregnancy when absolutely necessary. Talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits.

Pregnancy can lead to or worsen diabetes. Work with your doctor to develop a plan for managing your blood sugar during pregnancy, as your treatment (including diet and medications like insulin) may need to be adjusted.
