Heart Attack, Liver Failure Among the Most Common Avandia Injuries

Medical researchers have found that diabetics taking Avandia are 43 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack and face a 64 percent greater likelihood of dying from a cardiovascular disease while on the drug. Avandia’s increased risk of heart failure prompted the FDA in May 2007 to issue a public health advisory about the dangers.

Heart Failure and Other Avandia Injuries

While heart failure is the most serious injury associated with Avandia and the chances of suffering a heart attack are greatly increased by taking the drug, other injuries that may result from taking Avandia include:

Liver failure or damage
Pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)
Macular edema (swelling of the eye)

Avandia Side Effects
