The New York Times Releases Shocking Death Numbers Associated with Avandia Diabetes Medicine

A controversial diabetes medicine, Avandia is now gaining media attention as The New York Times releases information that Avandia has led to heart attacks and death of 304 individuals during the third quarter of 2009 alone.

According to confidential government reports obtained by The New York Times, the drug leads to unnecessary heart failure and death of diabetes patients each month. In the meantime, the FDA is torn whether to mandate a recall due to contradictory results following several studies.

GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of Avandia, claims that “scientific evidence simply does not establish that Avandia increases” the risk of heart failure.

As the debate heats up, a Senate investigation has concluded that the drug maker failed to adequately warn consumers of the potential risks associated with Avandia.
