What is Avandamet?
Avandamet is a combination of two oral diabetes medicines that help control blood sugar levels. Avandamet works by decreasing the amount of sugar that the liver produces and the intestines absorb. It also helps to make your body more sensitive to the insulin that you naturally produce.

Avandamet is for people with type 2 diabetes who do not use daily insulin injections. This medication is not for treating type 1 diabetes.

Avandamet may also be used for other purposes not listed here.
Important information about Avandamet

Do not use Avandamet if you have severe heart failure, kidney disease, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin).

Before taking Avandamet, tell your doctor if you have congestive heart failure or heart disease, a history of heart attack or stroke, liver disease, or eye problems caused by diabetes.

If you need to have any type of x-ray or CT scan using a dye that is injected into your veins, you will need to temporarily stop taking Avandamet. Be sure the surgeon knows ahead of time that you are using Avandamet. Some people have developed a life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis while taking metformin. Get emergency medical help if you have any of these symptoms of lactic acidosis: muscle pain or weakness, numb or cold feeling in your arms and legs, trouble breathing, stomach pain, nausea with vomiting, slow or uneven heart rate, dizziness, or feeling very weak or tired.


Before taking Avandamet

Do not use Avandamet if you have severe heart failure, kidney disease, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin). If you need to have any type of x-ray or CT scan using a dye that is injected into your veins, you will need to temporarily stop taking Avandamet. Be sure the surgeon knows ahead of time that you are using this medication. Metformin may cause lactic acidosis (the build up of lactic acid in the body) that can start slowly and gradually get worse. Symptoms include muscle pain or weakness, numb or cold feeling in your arms and legs, trouble breathing, stomach pain, nausea with vomiting, slow or uneven heart rate, dizziness, or feeling very weak or tired. Get emergency medical help if you have any of these symptoms of lactic acidosis, even if they are only mild. Early signs of lactic acidosis generally get worse over time and this condition can be fatal.

You may be more likely to develop lactic acidosis if you have liver disease, kidney disease, congestive heart failure, a serious infection, if you are dehydrated, or if you drink large amounts of alcohol. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk.

Before taking Avandamet, tell your doctor if you have congestive heart failure or heart disease, a history of heart attack or stroke, liver disease, or eye problems caused by diabetes.

Some women using Avandamet have started having menstrual periods, even after not having a period for a long time due to a medical condition. You may be able to get pregnant if your periods restart. Talk with your doctor about the need for birth control. Women may also be more likely than men to have bone fractures in the upper arm, hand, or foot while taking Avandamet. Talk with your doctor if you are concerned about this possibility.

FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether this medication is harmful to an unborn baby. Before you take Avandamet, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether metformin and rosiglitazone passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not take Avandamet without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Taking certain oral diabetes medications may increase your risk of serious heart problems. However, not treating your diabetes can damage your heart and other organs. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treating your diabetes with Avandamet.


How should I take Avandamet?

Take Avandamet exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label

Take Avandamet with meals, especially during the first few weeks of therapy.

Your medication needs may change if you become sick or injured, if you have a serious infection, or if you have any type of surgery.

Take care not to let your blood sugar get too low, causing hypoglycemia. You may have hypoglycemia if you skip a meal, exercise too long, drink alcohol, or are under stress.


Know the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to recognize them:


hunger, headache, confusion, irritability;
drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, tremors;
sweating, fast heartbeat, seizure (convulsions); or
fainting, coma (severe hypoglycemia can be fatal).


Always keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Sugar sources include orange juice, glucose gel, candy, or milk. If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use an injection of glucagon. Your doctor can give you a prescription for a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to give the injection.

Your doctor may have you take extra vitamin B12 while you are taking Avandamet. Take only the amount of vitamin B12 that your doctor has prescribed.

Store Avandamet at room temperature away from moisture and heat.


What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember (be sure to take the medicine with food). If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of Avandamet may cause a life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis. Get emergency medical help if you have any of these symptoms of lactic acidosis: muscle pain or weakness, numb or cold feeling in your arms and legs, trouble breathing, stomach pain, nausea with vomiting, slow or uneven heart rate, dizziness, or feeling very weak or tired.


What should I avoid while taking Avandamet?

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Avandamet. Alcohol lowers blood sugar and may increase the risk of lactic acidosis while you are taking this medicine.
