Avandia to get new heart warning label
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
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?

In response to "do you feel safe" , the answer to that is No if you have seen the facts including the percentages on patients who have had negative side effects after using Avandia. The FDA already issued a black box warning on the drug back in June 07. Visit http://www.the-avandia-lawyer.com/ for daily updated information regarding Avandia. Ennis & Ennis P.A.
