Avandia is banned in most of Europe. But it is still being sold. This disgraceful fact has been highlight in a WDDTY (What Doctor's Don't Tell You) report, based on new research published in the British Medical Journal
http://www.wddty.com/avandia-still-not-banned-and-still-killing-people.html
The drug is known to be responsible for 1,250 heart attack, heart failures, and deaths for every 100,000 people taking it, with an increased heart attack risk of 16%, and an increased risk of congestive heart failure by 23%, and an increased risk of death of 14%.
And around 3.8 million people in the USA are taking it. WDDTY estimate that this will mean that about 47,500 of them will die, or suffer heart problems as a result.
Who cares? Not, apparently, the drug companies; or the regulatory agencies.
