Default Is avandia taken all at once or in divided doses?

Just wondering... if it comes down to dipping into my stash and self-medicating. My old doctor just told me to take it 4mg once a day, but I read somewhere that it's supposed to be taken in divided doses over the course of a day... ???

I'm also on 4mg and I take it just once a day, in the morning.

I think its because 1 tab = 8mg so they have to split the tab and take it 2x a day to make it 4mg each.

Shouldn't you be consulting a dr. I don't think its good to self medicate...

It's a once a day med, regardless of if it's a 4 or 8 mg pill.
I wouldn't be too concerned about self medicating (while you're searching for a doc that WILL prescribe it) with Avandia. It's pretty mild compared to something like Met - just watch out for swelling.

Take it once a day. It does take about 2 weeks to see benefits though. Both times I took it side effects didn't show until at least two months in.
