Avandia Information

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.
