What is Avandia (Rosiglitazone)?
Avandia is an oral prescription medication for type 2 diabetes. It contains rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione-class drug. The medication improves blood sugar control when combined with diet and exercise.
Avandia works by increasing insulin sensitivity in the body. It helps cells respond better to insulin. This reduces blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
The medication is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It requires the body to produce insulin to work effectively.
