Avandamet
Pronunciation: ROE-si-GLI-ta-zone/met-FOR-min
Generic Name: Rosiglitazone/Metformin

Avandamet may rarely cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called lactic acidosis. Most of these cases have occurred in diabetic patients who also have certain kidney problems.

Lab tests, including kidney function, may be performed while you take Avandamet.
Do not begin to take Avandamet if you are older than 80 years unless lab tests show that you do not have decreased kidney function. Do not take it if you have a severe infection or low blood oxygen levels, or you are dehydrated. Tell your doctor you take Avandamet before you have any surgery or lab procedures.
Contact your doctor right away if you notice symptoms such as muscle pain or tenderness; unusual drowsiness, dizziness, or lightheadedness; slow or irregular heartbeat; fast or difficult breathing; unusual stomach discomfort; or unusual weakness or tiredness. Contact your doctor right away if you start to feel unusually cold or if you have a general feeling of being unwell.
Thiazolidinedione antidiabetics, such as rosiglitazone (one of the components of Avandamet), may cause or worsen heart failure in some patients.
