Millions of Americans take Avandia to help control their blood-sugar levels. However, Avandia, the world's top-selling oral diabetes treatment, is linked to a higher risk of heart attacks among patients who use the drug.
Researchers found that there is also a 64 percent increased risk of dying from cardiovascular causes while taking the drug. The studies concluded that there were 86 heart attacks and 39 deaths among the 15,560 Avandia patients, compared with 72 heart attacks and 22 deaths among the 12,283 patients not taking Avandia.
