Avandamet indeholder 2 aktive stoffer, som har hver sin virkningsmåde. • rosiglitazon gør cellerne (fedt, muskel og lever) mere følsomme over for insulin, hvilket betyder, at kroppen bedre udnytter den insulin, den selv producerer. • metformin virker overvejende ved at hæmme produktionen af glukose og reducere absorptionen af glukose i tarmen.
Avandamet contains two active substances, which have different modes of action: • rosiglitazone makes cells (fat, muscle and liver) more sensitive to insulin, which means that the body makes better use of the insulin it produces; • metformin works mainly by inhibiting glucose production and reducing its absorption in the gut.
