Type 2 (Adult Onset) Diabetes Patients with Heart Conditions At Risk from Avandia

People being treated for Type 2 diabetes are at risk of suffering heart failure or other negative side effects from Avandia. The drug is commonly prescribed to diabetes patients and has proven successful in promoting a patient’s response to insulin treatments. Avandia helps control blood-sugar levels in diabetics by making body cells more sensitive to insulin.

Approximately 20 million Americans are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. It is important to note that Avandia is only for people with Type 2 (also called adult onset or non-insulin-dependent) diabetes and while the drug may be prescribed in combination with other medications, Avandia should not be taken by people with Type 1 diabetes.

Watch for Signs of Heart Failure

After beginning Avandia or increasing your dosage, patients should be carefully monitored for signs and symptoms of heart failure. The symptoms of heart failure may include:

• Excessive, rapid weight gain
• Edema (swelling)
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
