Avandia Adverse Events

Since Avandia was first approved in 1999, the FDA has been monitoring several heart-related adverse events including congestive heart failure. FDA has updated the product’s labeling on several occasions to reflect these new data – the most recent labeling change included a new warning about a potential increase in heart attacks and heart-related chest pain in some individuals.

New England Journal of Medicine Study

A 2007 New England Journal of Medicine study showed a 43 percent increase in heart attacks in people using Avandia. Within the first six years of approval, there were nearly 700 cases of congestive heart failure reported to the FDA in patients using the drug. Additionally, there have been reports of anemia which, along with heart failure, increases the risk for a heart attack.
