white round pill with SB4 on it with a scored line ## Hello, David! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and they list it as a 4mg Avandia tablet, which is used to treat diabetes. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain, diarrhea and low blood sugar. Is there anything else I can help with?

Manufacturer: GlaxoSmithKline National Drug Code (NDC): 00029-3159 You can learn more about this drug on the page for Avandia Details On another note, you mentioned that the pill might be dihydrocodeine (DF118); if you'd like to view an image of dihydrocodeine to see if it could be a match, click here I hope this helps, please post back if you have any other questions/concerns! ## many thanks for the info, I thought i...

This is a pink oval shaped pill with SB in capitals wrote on the one side and nothing on the other. The are about 5mm long and 2mm thick and I think they are some kind of steroid but need to know for my little brothers sake. ## Located a few pink pills with SB on them, the only difference is there is also a number either 2, 4, or 8. They are also oval shaped, but 5 sided pill. These are all Avandia, they are just different milligrams. To learn more click on the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do.

avandia would cause weight gain. why and how? well, it increases the bodies sensitivity to insulin!! if this happens your body will 'tell' the liver and muscle cells to take in glucose and store it in the form of glycogen, and causing fat cells to take in blood lipids and turn them into triglycerides. I hope this helps, Ive tried to make a rather complicated subject more user friendly lol ## It is not wise to take avandia with any form of insulin or nitrates!!!!!! and IF rapid wieght gain occurs seek medical advise asap!

I've been on Metformin for 9 months and have gained weight even though it is supposed to help lose weight. Has anyone else had this problem and/or does Avandia help? ## Yes, I have gained everything back that I had worked so hard to lose, 15 lbs. My doc says it isn't the Avandia, but you can't convince me. I started gaining after I was put on it. ## I HAVE ALSO BEEN ON METFORMIN FOR YEARS...WHEN I STARTED THIS MED IT DID MAKE ME GAIN WEIGHT ALSO....EVEN THOUGH DOCTORS SWEARS IT DOESNT...IT DIDI ## My husband lost from a size 46 to 40, then the doctor put him on avandia and in one month he gained back up to size 46. His new weight doctor told him to get off of the avandia because it does cause weight gain and even states so in the advertisement.
