The Story on Avandia
Earlier this week, the New England Journal of Medicine published a Cleveland Clinic metanalysis of research on the type 2 diabetes drug rosaglitizone (Avandia) and the cardiovascular risk associated with the drug. The findings prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to issue a safety warning on Avandia. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the drug's manufacturer, has issued a rebuttal to the study, citing their own "comprehensive and rigorous program of scientific analysis."
If you're currently taking Avandia and have concerns about the recent study, talk to your doctor.
