What should you watch for
while taking Avandia?
It is recommended to visit to your doctor or health care professional for
regular checks on your progress. Learn how to monitor blood or urine sugar
and urine ketones regularly. If your blood sugar is high, consult with your
doctor as you may need a change of dose of Avandia. It is recommended not
to skip meals. You may need extra snacks to avoid side effects caused by
low blood sugar, if you are exercising much more than the usual. Consult
with your doctor as soon as possible if you have mild symptoms of low blood
sugar and it is advised to immediately eat or drink something containing
sugar. It will be better to check your blood sugar to confirm that it is
low. It is important for you to identify yourself for the symptoms of low
blood sugar so that you can help and treat them as soon as possible. Make
sure family members know that you can choke if you eat or drink when you
have serious symptoms of low blood sugar, such as seizures or unconsciousness.
They must get medical help at once.
Consult with your doctor and tell him that you are taking Avandia, if you
are going to have surgery.
Always carry a card which describes all medicines which you are taking.
Avandia is used to treat
type II diabetes; Patients with type II diabetes cannot make enough insulin,
and the cells of their body do not respond normally to the reduced amounts
of insulin that are present. (Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas
that stimulates cells to remove glucose from the blood). Anti-diabetes
medicines, including metformin or insulin, as part of a diet and exercise
program may be used in combination with this medicine for treatment. |
