The numbers are really outrageous, and they have now been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Studies show a 43% higher rate of heart attacks. Additionally, death by other cardiovascular conditions due to using Avandia are as high as 65%. If you or a loved one have used Avandia and are exhibiting symptoms you would be well advised to consult your physician and an attorney immediatley.

I take Avandia. This thing is blown out of shape without any real data. A meta-analysis is no way to test a drug. My decision to use or to not use is extremely important to my well being and, indeed, my life itself. Please, be even and fair for the sake of the millions who rely upon this drug.

Jack, I appreciate your point of view, but that drug will probably kill you. My father died last week of a massive heart attack. We never saw it comming and he never showed any signs leading up to his death. Good luck with your treatment.
