What is Avandamet?
AVANDAMET 2 mg-500 mg Tab
Drug Name: ROSIGLITAZONE/METFORMIN - ORAL
Other Brand Names: Avandamet
Uses: This combination medication is used along with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). This medication works by helping to restore your body's proper response to the insulin you naturally produce. Rosiglitazone-containing medications should only be used when other medications cannot be taken or have not worked well. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of this product (see Warning section). Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Rosiglitazone belongs to a class of drugs known as thiazolidinediones or "glitazones." Metformin is a biguanide-type drug.
