A member asked:
What is the difference between actos and avandia (rosiglitazone). does actos have the same side effects as avandia (rosiglitazone)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Both Actos and Avandia (rosiglitazone) are in the same drug class. Both lower blood glucose and both can cause leg swelling. And neither are routinely prescribed anymore due to severe long term risks.
