Avandia, a widely used diabetes pill may raise the risk of heart attacks and possibly death, according to a scientific analysis that reveals what some experts are calling another Vioxx-like example of the government failing to protect the public from an unsafe drug.
More than 6 million people worldwide have taken the drug, sold as Avandia and Avandamet, since it came on the market eight years ago to help control blood sugar in people with the most common form of diabetes. About 1 million Americans use it now.
Probably a good idea to speak with your physician regarding possible alternatives should you be taking Avandia to control your Diabetes.
