Avandia

Avandia, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, is a treatment for Type-2 diabetes mellitus. 18 million Americans suffer from this disease. More than 6 million people worldwide have been prescribed the drug.

On May 21, 2007, the New England Journal of Medicine published a Cleveland Clinic study demonstrating that patients taking Avandia had a 43% higher incidence of heart attacks compared to those taking placebo or other treatments. Subsequent studies appear to have confirmed this risk.
