Glaxo SmithKline has notified health professionals about reports of diabetic macular edema in patients receiving Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate) which is used to treat type 2 diabetes. These reports involved both new cases of macular edema and worsening of existing cases. In the majority of instances, patients also reported concurrent peripheral edema. In some cases, the macular edema resolved or improved when the drug was discontinued, and in one case it resolved after the dose was reduced.
