Daily visits to selected websites, subscriptions to selected scientific and medical podcast as well as my monthly magazines such as Nature, Scientific American, Physics Today, Science Magazine and Science Readers. respirate just convinced me to add the FDA website into my dailies.
What is good with technology these days is that you can be very selective regarding the kind of information you want to get and newspapers make me angry for some reasons that are totally personal.
Also, Avandia is the other drug that falls into this classification. The FDA warns not to use Avandia for first time users, in fact, the FDA severely restricts its use.
You can read about the different oral diabetes medication classifications and drugs that fall into each class here.

Always ask your doctor why he/she is Rx a drug vs others on the market.

this drug is same family as Rosiglitazone (Avandia) which has been foud active on hbsag and hbvdna, question is does TZD lower hbsag since decrease of hbsag inibits cancer growth too and if lowered to und eradicate hbv?
She is gaining weight, has trouble breathing, and has been experiencing some chest pains lately (Dr. gave nitro). She is on avandia and I would like to know if this could be the cause of her recent decline in health?
I use Actos, but for some reason my fingers typed Avandia. Our FDA went through the same review on Avandia recently, and reluctantly left it on the shelf; however, it is used only when patients are found refractory to other, similar drugs, I believe.
FlGuy, although I was down to 185 pounds at one point during treatment, I’m currently the lankiest 6’ 0” 250 pounder you’ve ever seen :o). I’ve always led an active lifestyle, so I don’t fit the sedentary profile of typical DM II patients.
Also go on the websites of the manufactures, sometimes they have coupons for a % off your bill. When I joint the avandia program I got a couple months free avandia, plus they send coupons at times. Also ask your md for samples. I use to work at a doctors office and we got enough samples to open a pharmacy. Another thing, if your job offers a flexible spending account, I find that is nice as well. it reduces your taxes and you can contribute up to 3000 a year to them. good luck.
Yes, i was put on Avandia for Type 2 abt 5 years ago. Since then my #'s have improved with diet and exercise to the point that a new Dr. said she saw no reason for me to be on Avandia and i have since stopped useing it. It was never vy high, around 159 or so when it was diagnosed. If i am not careful of my diet it can jump up to the 130's to 140's. Am also on diovan for HBP which is usually under good control with the 1 med.
Can I take Evening Primrose and Femara together? I'm also taking Avandia. Any thoughts would be great!
I have read a number of blogs including this one that indicate that hair loss is a side effect yet the Wellbutrin trials only listed hair loss as a side effect for less than 1% of patients. Given the U.S.
Metformin is in general, a good medication. There are others in the class such as Avandia. You can talk to your doctor about this. You might try drinking more water, eating more fiber (vegetables, whole grains), taking psyllium seed fiber and walking regularly. Each of those can help. Of course, there is always the laxative option but it's best to try the others first. Take it with meals, this helps. Onglyza is another alternative medication idea.
The Supreme Court's recent decision in the Hobby Lobby case[1] allows for-profit businesses to assert a religious objection to the contraception coverage requirement mandated under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Wondering how this decision will affect patient care? Here's our guide to everything you need to know about the clinical implications.
Q: What does the contraception mandate require under the ACA, and how will it affect women's health?
D. rather than going back to your dentist. You need to go to the FDA site and file an adverse drug reaction report. I am not ruling out the possibility that the problem is in the temporo-mandibular joint, but allodynia is also associated with reactions to certain drugs.
Fda, getting movin! I have already written to my senators congressional rep , people will decompensate and probably die while we are waiting for sofo/ledip/sime.
That sounds like it should be good for you if you are ovulating on your own and aren't having any other problems. I was on femara and avandia (for PCOS), and I had to have a trigger shot (because I don't ovulate on my own). But I got pregnant on my second month of femara (with IUI). And that was after 6 years of trying and being on clomid for a really long time. So I really believe in femara!
I have PCOS also, and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. I was put on avandia (similar to metformin), femara (similar to clomid), and a trigger shot to help me ovulate. I also did IUI. But I got pregnant on my second cycle of this combination. This was after trying for 6 years, but only 9 months with a reproductive endocrinologist. So I would suggest that if you do have PCOS, and you aren't currently seeing an RE, to go see one.
