Medical officials see tripling of diabetes drug side effects

Avandia has been connected/not connected to heart attack risks lately, but reports of possible heart risks from the drug along with other side effects are now under the microscope much more than they have been in the past. What to believe? In this case, who knows.

In fact, side effects from some diabetes drugs have been reported in triple-size fashion, leading some doctors to wonder of the heart problems seen in some patients are the after-effects of certain diabetes drugs that were previously been unknown in terms of actual cause.

How are heart problems reported? With root causes not really having been categorized into specific buckets (like being traced to Avandia), I wonder how many heart problems in the U.S. can be traced to certain prescription drugs?
