Avandia® is a popular prescription drug used to treat “type-2” or “adult-onset” diabetes. Recently, due to serious concerns over potentially dangerous Avandia® side effects, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required Avandia®’s manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, to include a “black box” warning on the pharmaceutical’s packaging.
According to the FDA, clinical trials have demonstrated that Avandia® users have shown “a potentially significant increase in the risk of heart attack and heart-related deaths.” The issue is independent from another analysis in the New England Journal of Medicine that said Avandia® increased the likelihood of heart attack. While other studies have deemed Avandia® to be safe, and neither the FDA nor GlaxoSmithKline have pulled Avandia® from the market, concerns persist.

Other reports have disagreed with these findings, and the controversy has not been resolved.
