Effectiveness

How Avage Affects PatientsAlcohol can damage cells by drying them out and ruining their insides. This is how it kills bacteria and fungi. When injected near nerves, it can cause inflammation and nerve damage (neurolysis). Most of the alcohol that enters the body is broken down by the liver. It can also be used as a sedative in medicine, or to dissolve certain drugs. Alcohol also interacts with certain receptors in the brain to change their effects. The liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase breaks down ethanol in the body.
How Avage works in the bodyEthanol, or alcohol, affects how your brain cells communicate with each other. It can change the composition of their membranes and the substances that help them send and receive signals. Alcohol also binds to receptors responsible for sending and receiving signals from chemicals like acetylcholine, serotonin, and GABA. This is why alcohol has a sedative effect. It also disrupts the osmotic balance of cell membranes, which can help fight infection.

Avage for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
I've been on this medication for over a year now, and it's done wonders for my A1C (which was previously over 10). In combination with other therapies, it's brought me down to a 6.4. I also have BPH, so I already had some trouble peeing; however, that has not been exacerbated by the Farxiga. All in all, I'm really happy with this drug!

Overall, this pill is great if you are willing to make some lifestyle changes. I noticed that staying away from sugar and artificial sweeteners really helped reduce any side effects I experienced.

I found that as long as I was careful about my diet and stayed away from sugary drinks, the side effects were very minimal. I also made sure to drink a lot of water and monitor my urine to make sure there were no infections. Within 3 months of being on the pill, my A1C went from 6.6 to 6.1. I have now been off the meds for _____ time period _____ and am maintaining my healthy habits.
