Avandamet - Prescription Drug Information, Side Effects

Brand name:
Avandamet
Generic ingredients: Rosiglitazone maleate, Metformin hydrochloride

Why is Avandamet prescribed?
Avandamet is an oral medication used to control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes. It contains two drugs commonly used to lower blood sugar, rosiglitazone and metformin. Avandamet replaces the need to take these two drugs separately. It is also used when treatment with metformin hydrochloride alone doesn't work. Avandamet is not, however, meant to take the place of weight loss or diet and exercise. You should continue to follow the regimen your doctor recommends.
