Diabetes Drug Avandia
Claims
Evidence recently confirmed
that the Diabetes Drug Avandia causes an increased risk of
heart attacks and other heart problems. Further, there
is evidence that both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and the drug producer Glaxo were aware of problems.
If you have suffered a heart attack or
serious heart damage or have lost a person that you love
from a heart attack and you or your loved one was taking
Avandia,

Ongoing Safety Analysis for Avandia
"The
New England Journal of
Medicine study just released showing a 43 percent
increase in heart attacks in people using Avandia should
come as no surprise either to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) or to Glaxo. In animal studies done
prior to its approval, one of the most constant findings was
damage to the heart, and within the first six years of
approval there have been 689 cases of heart failure reported
to the FDA in patients using the drug. In addition, there
have been reports of anemia which, along with heart failure,
increases the risk for a heart attack."
More recently, there have
been numerous reports of visual abnormalities in the form of
macular edema (swelling of part of the retina) and increases
in several kinds of fractures in women. Despite prior
knowledge of serious cardiac problems, the FDA has failed to
require Glaxo to adequately warn about the dangers of this
drug that should be, at best, a last-choice treatment for
Type II diabetes. In addition to the accumulating evidence
of its risks, it is not even as effective as other diabetes
drugs in lowering blood sugar or hemoglobin A1C, a measure
of glucose control.
