Avandia & Heart Attacks
According to a recent study in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, Avandia has been linked to a greater risk of heart attack and possibly death. Avandia is used to treat Type 2 diabetes, which afflicts 18 million Americans, and occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or cannot effectively use what it produces. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a "Safety Alert" urging diabetics taking Avandia to talk with their doctors to determine whether they should change medications.
