About Avandia
Maker and Purpose
Maker: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
Avandia is designed to help control type 2 Diabetes by aiding the body as it uses its own natural insulin. The intended results are designed to be most effective when Avandia is used along with daily attention to diet and exercise. Lowering blood sugar and then keeping the blood sugar level under control is the best outcome for diabetics. This is the outcome that Avandia is designed to offer.
Unfortunately, whether or not the risks of taking Avandia outweigh the potential health benefits for diabetics is still under review. The FDA continues to conduct its own evaluation of the drug and several studies indicate that the chance of serious heart problems, even heart failure, may be linked to use of Avandia. Potential risks of related heart problems are in the range of 30-40 percent. If you are taking Avandia, it is important to be aware of all potential risks and consulting a doctor and defective drug lawyers Cappolino Dodd Krebs LLP is in your best interest. Don't become the victim of a medicine that you thought was for your benefit.
