-----------------------------------Ed 寫:The WORSTPILLS.ORG in USA is starting a petiton to FDA to ban AVANDIA immediately.
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should immediately ban the dangerous diabetes drug Avandia (rosiglitazone) because it can cause death from liver failure and has many other life-threatening risks that far outweigh its benefits, Public Citizen said in a petition filed Oct. 30, 2008, with the agency."
ACTOS(pioglitazone) a drung in the same family as AVANDIA is also not recommended for treatment of Type-2 diabetes. The safer ones recommended are GLUCOPHAGE(metformin) and GLUCOTROL(glipizide).
