Avandia to get new heart warning label

Avandia, the prescription drug used to control diabetes in many U.S. patients, will have a new warning label affixed soon.

The problem is, the message may be more confusing than helpful. The U.S. government stated this week that the new warning label specifically for Avandia will say that the drug may or may not increase the risk of heart attacks. That's comforting.

The FDA concluded that studies on the drug, so far, are very contradictory and an ardent 'heart attack warning' label was not justified. Without further research, it looks like patient confusion on Avandia will only continue to escalate. If you're on the drug, do you feel safe?
