Important Info about Advandia

If you have type 1 diabetes, absolutely do not use Advandia. Same casae if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin).

Before you start to take Advandia, let your doctor know if you have congestive heart failure or heart disease, a history of heart attack or stroke, liver disease, or eye problems caused by diabetes.

Know the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to recognize them, including hunger, headache, confusion, irritability, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, tremors, sweating, fast heartbeat, seizure (convulsions), fainting, or coma (severe hypoglycemia can be fatal). You should always keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Some women using Advandia have started having menstrual periods, even after not having a period for a long time due to a medical condition. Women may also be more likely than men to have bone fractures in the upper arm, hand, or foot while taking Advandia. Consult with your doctor if you are concerned about this possibility.
