BUY AVANDIA

Avandia is applied in combination with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). The principle of work of this medication consists in helping to restore your body's proper response to insulin, thereby lowering your blood sugar. If you will control your blood sugar level you'll be able to prevent kidney disease, blindness, heart disease, strokes, and circulation problems, as well as sexual function problems (impotence). Avandia is used either alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic medications (e.g., sulfonylureas, metformin, insulin). Avandia belongs to the class of anti-diabetic drug (thiazolidinedione-type, also called "glitazones").

HOW TO USE AVANDIA:

Ask your doctor any questions that may interest you. It is an oral medication. It is necessary to take avandia 2-3 times a day (with or without food) or as prescribed by your doctor. Dosage depends on your medical condition, response to therapy, and if you are taking other anti-diabetic drugs. In order not to forget take avandia at the same time. Monitor blood glucose levels on a regular basis. About 2-3 months may pass before you feel the full effect of this medication. Take all other medications for diabetes as directed by your doctor.

AVANDIA SIDE EFFECTS:

You may experience such side effects as headache or cough. Inform your doctor in the case of worsening or persisting any of the side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious avandia side effects. If you experience such unusual but serious side effects as changes in menstrual cycles, bone fracture, dark urine, yellowing of eyes/skin, swelling, unexplained rapid weight gain, trouble breathing, unusual fatigue, fast/pounding heartbeat, persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, vision changes (e.g., color or night vision problems) inform your doctor immediately. Symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) include chills, weakness, headache, fainting, cold sweat, dizziness, drowsiness, shaking, rapid heart rate, tingling of the hands or feet, or hunger. But this side effect is very rare and may occur if you consume not enough calories. It is a good habit to carry glucose tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar. If you are in a situation where you don't have these reliable forms of glucose, eat a quick source of sugar such as table sugar, honey, or candy, or drink a glass of orange juice or non-diet soda to quickly raise your blood sugar level. Tell your doctor immediately about the reaction. To help prevent hypoglycemia, eat meals on a regular schedule and do not skip meals. Symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) include thirst, drowsiness, flushing, increased urination, confusion, rapid breathing, or fruity breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor immediately. Your medication dosage may need to be increased. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: swelling, dizziness, rash, itching, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Don't forget that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of the avandia side effects.
