Generic Avandia (Rositiaglitazone) is an antihyperglycemic agent. It helps the body respond better to insulin and it reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It can help control blood sugar levels. . Avandia is used, along with diet and exercise, in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type II diabetes). Avandia may also be used with a sulfonylurea (e.g., Diabeta, Glucotrol, Micronase, others), metformin (Glucophage), or insulin when diet and exercise plus any one of these medicines alone do not result in adequate blood sugar control.

How should I take this medicine?
Take rosiglitazone exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Rosiglitazone can be taken with or without food or meals. It is important to take rosiglitazone regularly to get the most benefit. Your doctor may want you to have blood or urine tests or other medical evaluations during treatment with rosiglitazone to monitor blood sugar levels, liver function, or other factors. Usually, liver function is monitored with blood tests at the start of treatment, every two months for the first year of treatment, and periodically thereafter during treatment with rosiglitazone. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, yellow skin or eyes, or dark urine. Although rosiglitazone does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), hypoglycemia may result from skipped meals, excessive exercise, or alcohol consumption.

Carry a piece of non-dietetic hard candy or glucose tablets with you to treat episodes of low blood sugar.
