Avandia and its uses Generic Avandia can help:
Generic Avandia can be used as dual therapy in combination with metformin (particularly in overweight people), as dual therapy in combination with a sulphonylurea (only in people who cannot take metformin), or as triple therapy in combination with metformin and a sulphonylurea. Working Mechanism of Avandia Avandia Dose Take the missed dose of Avandia as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the next day, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose of Avandia. Do not take a double dose of Avandia. Excess dose of Avandia Generic Avandia in excess dose does not show any symptoms. Conditions for storage of Avandia. Store Generic Avandia at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Avandia Tablets : Avandia 2 mg, Avandia 4 mg and Avandia 8 mg. Food and Drug interactions with Avandia If Generic Avandia is used in dual or triple therapy, in combination with a sulphonylurea such as gliclazide, the chance of your blood sugar dropping too low (hypoglycaemia) may be increased. Your doctor may need to alter your dose of sulphonylurea to avoid this. When Generic Avandia is used as triple therapy, in combination with Metformin and a sulphonylurea, there may also be an increased risk of fluid retention and heart failure. It may be more suitable to use insulin instead of triple therapy and your doctor should discuss this option with you. There may be an increased risk of fluid retention (oedema) if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as diclofenac or ibuprofen are taken with Generic Avandia. Gemfibrozil may increase your blood level of rosiglitazone. If you are taking Avandia in combination with rosiglitazone your doctor may therefore need to lower your rosiglitazone dose, depending on your blood sugar levels. The following medicines may decrease the blood level of Generic Avandia and make it less effective at lowering blood sugar:
