Why is this medication prescribed
Rosiglitazone is used, alone or in combination with other medications, to treat type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes (formerly 'adult-onset') in people whose diabetes cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. Rosiglitazone is in a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones. These drugs work by increasing your body's sensitivity to insulin, a substance your body produces to help control blood sugar levels. Rosiglitazone is not used to treat type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes (formerly 'juvenile-onset').
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What other information should I know
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood sugar and glycosolated hemoglobin should be checked regularly to determine your response to rosiglitazone.
Rare cases of liver injury and failure have occurred during therapy with troglitazone, a drug similar to rosiglitazone. The potential risk of liver injury with rosiglitazone is not known at this time. It is important that you keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain laboratory tests before and during your treatment to check your response to rosiglitazone. You will have these tests before you begin to take rosiglitazone, and then every 2 months for the first year of therapy. After the first year, these tests will be done less frequently.
Call your doctor during periods of stress, such as fever, trauma, infection, or prolonged illness. Your medications may need to be adjusted.
Rosiglitazone may cause a slight decrease in red and white blood cells. Before you have any laboratory test, tell the laboratory personnel and your doctor that you take this medication.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
