CNN has published a recent article in which they bring into question the drug Avandia. GlaxoSmithKline produces Avandia, which is used for treating diabetes. It appears that GlaxoSmithKline might be involved in somewhat of a cover-up. Avandia might be responsible for causing heart attacks in its users, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) doesn't want you, the consumer, to know about it. GSK asserts that the drug is "safe".
Now, what is the definition of a "safe" drug? What ratio of dosages to fatalities is considered simply a statistical anomaly or an acceptable loss? At what levels do we finally determine that a drug that was thought to be a lifesaver is actually a killer? GSK, who has invested substantial amounts of money on the drug would like you to think of Avandia as safe, regardless of the risks. After all, business is business. Deaths are expected and acceptable as long as the bottom line is good...
The truth is that there is no such thing as a safe drug. All drugs are artificial chemicals that nature did not design to be used in the body. They might cause some positive physiological reactions, but they will ALL cause negative ones as well, and some reactions are deadly.
If you are using Avandia, contact your MD and consider using an alternative. Better yet, if you are a diabetic, start eating better, exercising, and loosing weight. Maybe you won't need any of the diabetic drugs. You are certainly going to be healthier either way.
