Avandia is used to keep down blood sugar levels in people suffering from TYPE 2 diabetes.Avandia is a new type of diabetes medication. It can be used alone or in conjunction with metformin (Glucophage) or a member of the sulfonylurea class of diabetes drugs (Diabinese, Micronase, Orinase). Insulin helps the body sugar move out of the bloodstream and into the cells, in TYPE 2 diabetes, sugar starts to accumulate in the blood because the body is unable to make proper use of the insulin it makes. Avandia works first by decreasing sugar production, then by helping the body make more efficient use of whatever insulin is available. It does not increase the actual amount of insulin in circulation. It can be used alone or in conjunction with metformin (Glucophage) or a member of the sulfonylurea class of diabetes drugs (Diabinese, Micronase, Orinase). It takes effect slowly. Sometimes the medication may take 2 to 3 months to show effective results. WARNINGS ABOUT THIS MEDICATION If you have liver disease then do not take this medicine.
