1. Uses of Avandia
Avandia is a medication for patients with confirmed diabetes. After taking the drug, the patient's blood sugar will be controlled so as not to pose a health risk. Patients with type 2 diabetes can combine both medication and health promotion to gradually stabilize blood sugar levels.

When the patient's blood sugar is low, the doctor can inject Avandia to help quickly improve the health condition. However, when injecting the drug, the patient should have a caregiver to support when necessary as well as notify the doctor if there are serious symptoms.
Before the patient takes the medication, the doctor will ask about the most recent stress, medical problem or indication for surgery. This is the basis for making judgments about the appropriate dose for the patient.
If the treatment is for patients with type 2 diabetes, the doctor will prescribe the first dose of 4mg / day and use it all in 1 time. The maintenance dose may be increased if after 8-12 weeks the patient's condition does not improve as expected. The maximum dose will reach 8mg/day. Most patients will take it once a day, but you can ask your doctor to split the dose and use it twice a day.
