Avandia 8mg bd ?

[Raju]

According to the BNF, 8mg once a day is the highest recommended dose, but of course licensed dosages are sometimes crossed to good effect.

Has anybody in their day to day practice come across this 8mg bd of this drug?

I haven't come across the bd dose but I would have contacted the NPA to find out if there was any trials/evidence for using it bd.

There’s little evidence to support the thesis that there’re additional effects with more than 8mg.
