Introduction
Avandia Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate) is an oral antidiabetic agent which acts primarily by increasing insulin sensitivity. Avandia is used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [NIDDM] or adult-onset diabetes).

The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a report that links the diabetes drug Avandia with an increased heart attack risk. According to the report, the increased risk is as high as 43 percent. This works out to about one heart attack per 1000 patients.

About 1 million diabetics in the U.S. alone take Avandia to help control their blood sugar.

This means that thousands of diabetics could be at risk from Avandia.

Avandia is the No. 2 seller for GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a British company. About 1 million Americans take the pill, which generated about $3 billion in sales last year.
An article to be published in the June 14, 2007 print issue of New England Journal of Medicine tied the use of rosiglitazone to a 43% increased risk of heart attack.[ 4][ 5] The FDA issued an alert on May 21, 2007.[6] The findings of the study by Dr. Steven Nissen and his colleague Kathy Wolski, were considered enough of a public health matter to have caused the New England Journal of Medicine to release the findings several weeks before they appeared in print.
