Avandamet (Rosiglitazone/Metformin)

Avandamet is used to treat high blood sugar levels that are caused by a type of diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes called type 2 diabetes. It acts by making your body more sensitive to insulin. It, therefore, helps your body make better use of the insulin it produces and thus, helps to restore your blood sugar towards a normal level. It is used with a healthy diet and proper exercise to control high blood sugar.

Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent nerve problems, kidney damage, and loss of limbs, blindness, sexual function problems, and heart attack. Rosiglitazone medicine lowers blood sugar by helping to restore your body’s proper response to insulin. Metformin also decreases the amount of sugar that your liver makes and that your stomach/intestines absorb.
