Avandia is used to treat patients who have type 2 diabetes, or
adult-onset diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus occurs in individuals
whose bodies are no longer able to properly produce and/or process
insulin. In type 2 diabetes patients, insulin is either ignored
by the body or the body is unable to make enough of it.
When using Avandia, along with a healthy diet and exercise program,
it can greatly help patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus.
Avandia helps the body make use of the insulin that it does produce,
reduce the amount of sugar in the liver, and help to control blood
sugar levels.
Avandia is not an appropriate method of treatment for individuals
with type 1 diabetes, or in patients who have experienced jaundice
from taking other types of diabetes mellitus medications. Patients
with a history of heart failure or kidney disease are also urged
not to take Avandia. Avandia information also shows that diabetes
patients who suffer from ketoacidosis should not take this medication.
Common side effects from taking Avandia can include fluid retention
and weight gain, which should be carefully monitored by a medical
professional because weight gain can worsen a diabetic's condition.
