Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Avandamet as follows:
- Do not change the dose on Avandamet without consulting your doctor.
- Take a blood sugar reading always before you take dose of Avandamet. Maintain a log of every day blood sugar readings for comparative feedback, as to how well the drug is helping to control the blood sugars.
- If the blood sugar is too low, despite eating regularly and without skipping a meal, you can defer taking Avandamet for that dose and notify your doctor regarding the same. Keeping a track of frequency of such episodes of low blood sugars, despite eating regularly, can help your physician revise your dose on the medication.
- Also, notify your doctor, if the blood sugar continues to be high, despite taking Avandamet as recommended, so that, your medication dose could be revised.
