Consumer:Thiazolidinediones can cause slight decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit. In clinical studies, hemoglobin levels were reduced primarily within the first 4 to 12 weeks of therapy but remained relatively constant thereafter. These changes may be related to increased plasma volume and have rarely been associated with any significant hematologic clinical effects. Nevertheless, caution may be advisable when thiazolidinediones are prescribed to patients with certain anemias.
