Avandia – or rosiglitaone – is a popular drug used by Type II diabetics to control blood sugar. Since its debut on the market, Avandia has been under scrutiny for reports of increased risks of heart attack, heart failure, osteoporosis and other potentially life-threatening side effects. One study estimated that from 1999 to 2009, more than 47,000 people taking Avandia needlessly suffered a heart attack, stroke or heart failure, or died.
Europe has suspended the sale of Avandia, and the Food and Drug Administration recently restricted its use; however, in its nine years on the market, Avandia has been prescribed to millions of diabetics.
