So finally, is Avandia good or bad?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
There seems to be quite a bit of news about the negative side effects of many prescription drugs these days, but do these drugs help more people than they hurt?Avandia, a diabetes drug that has received quite a bit of attention from the media since May, has reportedly helped many patients battle the oft-debilitating conditions that come along with having diabetes. Additionally, the drug has been linked to heart problems like many other prescription drugs before it.
Some will say that a single death caused (or partially caused) by the side effects of a prescription drug is worth it if the drug helps hundreds of thousands at the same time. What do you think? Do the possible benefits of certain drugs outweigh the possible or actual death numbers caused by those same drugs?

As long as the number of deaths aren't statistically significant, I see no reason to recall a medication that works.
