Rosiglitazone is used for:

Controlling blood sugar levels, along with diet and exercise, in patients with type 2 diabetes. This medication may also be used with other antidiabetes medicines.

Rosiglitazone is a thiazolidinedione. It lowers blood glucose (sugar) by making the cells of the body more sensitive to the action of insulin. Insulin is needed to allow sugar to be carried from the bloodstream into many cells of the body for energy. Rosiglitazone does not work in type 1 diabetes.

Do NOT use Rosiglitazone if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Rosiglitazone

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
