FURTHER INFORMATION
1.
WHAT AVANDIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
AVANDIA IS USED TO TREAT TYPE 2 DIABETES.
People with type 2 diabetes either don’t make enough
insulin (a hormone that controls blood sugar levels), or don’t
respond normally to the insulin their
body makes. Avandia helps to reduce your blood sugar towards a normal
level, by helping your body
make better use of the insulin it produces.
Avandia can be used alone or in combination with other medicines to
treat diabetes (such as
metformin or a sulphonylurea).
2.
BEFORE YOU TAKE AVANDIA
To help manage your diabetes, it is important that you follow any diet
and lifestyle advice from your
doctor as well as taking Avandia.
DON’T TAKE AVANDIA:
•
IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC
(
_hypersensitive_
) to rosiglitazone or any of the other ingredients of
Avandia (
_listed in Section 6)_
•
IF YOU HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK OR SEVERE ANGINA,
that’s being treated in hospital
•
IF YOU HAVE HEART FAILURE,
or have had heart failure in the past
•
IF YOU HAVE LIVER DISEASE
•
IF YOU HAVE HAD DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS
(a complication of diabetes causing rapid weight
loss, nausea or vomiting) CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR
if you think any of these

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rosiglitazone is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes
mellitus:
as MONOTHERAPY
–
in patients (particularly overweight patients) inadequately controlled
by diet and exercise for
whom metformin is inappropriate because of contraindications or
intolerance
as
DUAL ORAL THERAPY
in combination with
–
metformin, in patients (particularly overweight patients) with
insufficient glycaemic control
despite maximal tolerated dose of monotherapy with metformin
–
a sulphonylurea, only in patients who show intolerance to metformin or
for whom metformin is
contraindicated, with insufficient glycaemic control despite
monotherapy with a sulphonylurea
as
TRIPLE ORAL THERAPY
in combination with
–
metformin and a sulphonylurea, in patients (particularly overweight
patients) with insufficient
glycaemic control despite dual oral therapy (see section 4.4).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Rosiglitazone therapy is usually initiated at 4 mg/day. This dose can
_ _
be increased to 8 mg/day after
eight
_ _
weeks if greater glycaemic control is required. In patients
administered rosiglitazone in
combination with a sulphonylurea, an increase in rosiglitazone to 8
mg/day should be undertaken
cautiously following appropriate clinical evaluation to assess the
patient's risk of developing adverse
reactions relating to fluid retention (see 4.4 and 4.8).
Rosiglitazone may be given once or twice a day.
Rosiglitazone may be taken with or without food.
