What is Avandia® Prescribed For?

Generically known as rosiglitazone, Avandia® is a tablet medication prescribed to treat type-2 diabetes, a condition in which the body's resistance to insulin can endanger its blood sugar levels. Avandia® is not appropriate for the treatment of type-1 diabetes, a condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.

Avandia® is produced by GlaxoSmithKline and should typically be taken twice daily, in the morning and the evening. Avandia® can be taken with or without food.

Common Avandia® Side Effects

In many cases, diabetes patients taking Avandia® will, at worst, experience minor, treatable and fleeting side effects, such as:

• back pain
• cold-like symptoms (i.e. runny nose, sneezing, cough, etc.)
• headache
• mild diarrhea
• slow weight gain

While such health complications are typically tolerable, should they significantly impair a patient's quality of life, it's recommended that he work with his doctor to find an alternative medication to manage his type-2 diabetes.

Severe Avandia® Side Effects

Unfortunately, Avandia® medication has been found to cause some less common, serious side effects that, in the worst cases, are life-threatening. Severe Avandia® side effects have been reported to include:

• bone fracture (particularly in the arms, hands or feet)
• congestive heart failure
• heart attack
• hypoglycemia (extremely low blood sugar)
• hyperglycemia (extremely high blood sugar)
• jaundice
• liver problems
• severe allergic reaction
• upper respiratory tract infection

Patients may be developing any of the above Avandia® injuries if they start developing the following symptoms:

• blurry vision
• breathing difficulties
• chest, shoulder and/or arm pain
• confusion and/or dizziness
• easy bleeding and/or bruising
• hives and/or skin rash
• increased hunger, thirst and/or urination
• nausea and/or vomiting
• sweating
• weakness

It's vital that Avandia® patients experiencing any of the above changes in their health seek emergency medical attention to prevent further injuries and to save their lives.
