Psoriasis is not listed as one of the side effects of Avandia. None of the side effects listed are skin related as it concerns Avandia. Some of the side effects that Avandia causes are upper respiratory infections which give off a cold and flu like effect. Another side effect is broken bones in women. Other side effects include injury, headache, weight gain from water retention, back pain and anemia. None of these side effects are related to skin conditions. Avandia is a medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. You may have to contact your doctor for some of these side effects in the case that it gets severe.
